Square Root of 325

The square root of 325 is irrational. The approximate value of the square root of 325 is 18.03. 

If 18.03 is the square root of 325, it means that if 18.03 is multiplied by 18.03, then the resultant number is 325 (324.72, rounded off to get 325). Here 18.03 is the square root of 325 (324.72). If an integer is multiplied by itself, then the resultant is termed the perfect square number and the integer multiplied by itself is the perfect square root. Representing it with Mathematical notation would be “ n × n = r”, where r is the perfect square number and “n” is its square root. Note that “n” can be an integer. The methods to find “n” are either by prime factorisation method, long division method or repeated subtraction method. You can refer to the Finding Square root with Example.

Note the Following:

  • The Square root of 325 = 2√325 = √325 where ‘√’ is the radical, and 325 is the radicand and 2 is the index.
  • Exponential Form of Square root of 325 = 3251/2
  • Solution for √325 ≈18.02
  • The square root of 325 is Irrational = True

What is the Square root of 325?

How to Find the Square root of 325?

There are three methods to find the Square root of 325 

  • Prime Factorisation method
  • Long Division method
  • Repeated Subtraction method

Square root of 325 by Prime Factorisation Method

In the prime factorization method, 325 is divided by prime factors, starting from 5.

The division on 325 using prime factors is given below;

5

325

5

65

13

The prime factors are 5, 5 and 13. Since this is a square root, two 5’s can be removed from within the root as 5. i,e √325 = √(5× 5 × 13) = 5√13. 

Square root of 325 by Long Division Method

To understand the long division method, follow the below-mentioned detailed steps;

Step 1: Group the given number into pairs. 

Step 2: Divide the first pair, using the divisor such that the product is less than or equal to.

Step 3: Continue the division by bringing the next pair

Step 4: The first divisor in the next division to be (Divisor of first division + quotient of first division) such that:

d1 × 1 =

d2 × 2 =

d3 x 3 =

 And so on. 

Step 5: If the division is complete with the remainder as zero, then the quotient will be the square root. Else the number is not a perfect square number.

Applying the above steps to 325.

Pairing 1 and 49.

The squares are: 

1 × 1 = 1

2 × 2 = 4

Square root of 325

Hence 325 does not have a perfect square. Therefore, 325 is an irrational number whose root lies between 18 and 19.

Square root of 325 by Repeated Subtraction Method.

When 325 is subtracted by one, and the resultant by 3 and its resultant by 5. Continuing the subtraction repeatedly by odd numbers is the repeated subtraction method of finding the square root. When this process results in zero at any step, then the step is the perfect square root of 325, else the number 325 is irrational.
