A number (x) is said to be a square root of (y) number if x2 = y.
(i.e)when we multiply the square root of a number by itself, it will give the original number. It is denoted by the symbol

What are the different methods to find the Sq root of a number?

square-root icon
  • Prime Factorization Method
  • Repeated Subtraction Method
  • Long Division Method
  • Estimation Method
  • Square Root Simplifier

Prime Factorization Method

  • Step 1:

    Divide the given number by its prime factor.

  • Step 2

    Make pairs of similar factors

  • Step 3:

    From each pair take one factor and multiply them this will give you the square root of the given number.

  • Example: Lets find the square root of 100.

    Prime Factorization of 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5;
    Take 2 and 5 from the pairs.Product of 2 and 5 is the square root of 100.
    so 10 is the square root of 100.

Repeated Subtraction Method

User Guide icon
  • Step 1:

    This is used only if the number is perfect square.Subtract the consecutive odd numbers from the given number.

  • Step 2:

    Subtract till you get diference as 0.

  • Step 3:

    Number of times we subtract will be the square root of the given number.

  • Example:Square root of 36.
  • 36 - 1 = 35
  • 35 - 3 = 31
  • 31 - 5 = 29
  • 29 - 7 = 22
  • 22 - 9 = 11
  • 11 - 11 = 0

Since we subtracted for 6 times ,So 6 is the square root of 36.

Long Division Method

  • Step 1

    Separate the given number from right to left with two digit in a seperation.

  • Step 2

    Now think of a perfect square number that is closest to the first pair in the left side and divide the given number with that number.

  • Step 3:

    Bring down the remainder along with the next pair, and multiply the previous quotient by 2 and bring it down.

  • Step 4:

    Repeat step 2 and step 3 untill you get the remainder as zero.If necessary we can add decimal to get zero at the end.

  • Long division Flow

Square Root Simplifier Method

User Guide icon
  • Step 1:

    Write the prime factorization of the given number inside the radical.

  • Step 2:

    Pair each number and take them out from the square root.

  • Step 3:

    Leave the number insode the root that dont have pair.Multiply the number that are taken from the root and the number with the root.

  • Example:Square root of 32.

    Prime factorization of 32 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 2 x 2 2

    Square root of 32 is 42

Use of Square Roots in real world applications

  • Calculating Distance: The Pythagorean theorem, a fundamental concept in geometry, uses square roots to determine the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle. This has practical application in construction
  • Electrical Circuits: Square roots are used in electrical circuit analysis to calculate voltage and current values. It is used in designing and maintaining efficient electrical systems.
  • Finance and Investments: Square roots are employed in finance to calculate the annualized rate of return on investments and to assess the risk associated with different financial instruments.
  • Physics and Engineering: Square roots are used in various physics and engineering applications, including calculating force, velocity, and energy. They are also used in fluid dynamics, optics, and thermodynamics.
  • Probability and Statistics: Square roots are used in probability and statistics to calculate standard deviation, a measure of the spread of data. This is important for understanding the variability of data sets.
  • Computer Graphics and Animation: Square roots are used in computer graphics and animation to calculate distances between objects and to generate realistic lighting effects.

Frequently Asked Questions on Sq Root calculator

FAQ icon

  • A number (x) is said to be a square root of (y) number if x^2 = y.
    For example:Square root of 25 is 5.

  • These are square root property:
    Numbers with 2, 3, 7 or 8 at unit’s place is never a perfect square.
    Squares of even numbers are always even numbers and square of odd numbers are always odd.

  • Taking out all the perfect squares from the radicand is square root simplifier.
