Let the greater and the smaller number be g and s respectively.gs = 2560g + s exceeds g - s by 64 i.e., g + s - (g - s) = 64i.e., 2s = 64 => s = 32.g = 2560/s = 80.
The numbers less than 696 and are squares of certain numbers are 676, 625.The least number that should be subtracted from 696 to make it perfect square = 696 - 676 = 20.
