To start with, Mathematics: Finding the square root without a calculator

Today, I will show you a well-known method in order to find a square root on your own, without any help of a calculator. This is one of the typical piece of knowledge which is being forgotten and being left to teach, due to the fact that calculators and computers solve them.
Certainly, I already know that it is quite easy, but it is the previous path towards my next post.

For instance, suppose that finding the square root of the number 8324 is required.
It starts typing in the number under the radical and proceed as follows:


1) The figures are split up into groups of two from right to left.






2) The first group on the left is taken, which is 83. Now, it is necessary to think about an integer number that multiplies by itself becomes 83 or nearly 83 by default, and to take this number away from 83.
9 is the number, since 9= 81.






3)The following set of numbers is 24 and it is lowered. Its is found the double of the root that hasbeen calculated previously and it is located below 9 x 2 = 18.





4) Now, let's separate with a point the last figure on the right, and divides what remains on the left between double root that has been found beforehand, or what is the same: 22:18 = 1






5) The number 1 that has been obtained is placed on the right of the double of the root, resulting in 181. Then a multiply sign is located after 181 and the number one after this multiply sign. Now the calculation 181*1 = 181 is done and this result is subtracted the number 224, on the left side.







6) The number 1 rises where is placed the root


7) As there are no more groups of digits to lower in the filing of the square root, the operation is complete.
Then the root square of 8324 is 91 and the remainder 43.

8) Checking:
912 = 8281
8291 + 43 = 8324.

9) Now, if you want to get it with decimals is need to add as many pairs of zeros whatever decimal at the end result. For example, if you want to get the root with two decimal places, it is necessary to place a comma after the 8324 and four zeros.
Afterwards, the procedure is like the previous steps. 






















     





























Therefore, the square root of 8324 with two decimal places is 91.23 and the remainder would be 1.0871.
