How to find the square roots using short cut method?

Open in App
Solution


Step 1: First of all group the number in pairs of 2 starting from the right.
Step 2: To get the ten's place digit, Find the nearest square (equivalent or greater than or less than) to the first grouped pair from left and put square root of the square.
Step 3: To get the unit's place digit of the square root
Remember the following
If numberUnits place digit ofends inthe square root11 or 9(101)42 or 8(102)93 or 7(103)64 or 6(104)5500
Lets see the logic behind this for a better understanding
We know,
12=122=432=942=1652=2562=3672=4982=6492=81102=100
Now, observe the unit's place digit of all the squares.
Do you find anything common?
We notice that,
Unit's place dogot of both 12 and 92 is 1.
Unit's place dogot of both 22 and 82 is 4.
Unit's place dogot of both 32 and 72 is 9.
Unit's place dogot of both 42 and 62 is 6.
Step 4: Multiply the ten's place digit (found in step 1) with its consecutive number and compare the result obtained with the first pair of the original number from left.
Remember,
If first pair of the original number < the result obtained on multiplication, then select the lesser number out of the two numbers as the unit's place digit of the square root.
