Square Root of Numbers in the Decimal Form


To find the square root of numbers in the decimal form are explained in the following steps:

Step I: Make the number of decimal places even by affixing a zero on the extreme right of the decimal part (if required).

Step II: In the integral part, mark the periods as done while finding the square root of a perfect square of some natural number.

Step III: In the decimal part, mark the periods on every pair of digits beginning with the first decimal place.

Step IV: Now, find the square root by long division method.

Step V: Put the decimal point in the square root as soon as the integral part is exhausted.
