Answer:

N=14

Explanation:

The first thing you want to do is write 2016 as its prime factorization: 2016 = 25*32*7. The 32 is already a square. We need too multiply one more factor of 2 to make 26, which has 23 = 8 as its square root. We also need to multiply by 7 to give 72. Therefore, to make a perfect square out of 2016, we need to multiply by 2*7 = 14. So, N =14.

I don't know if this really helps but i hope it helps!
