Square Root Calculator

Square Root is defined as the number as the value which gives the number when it is multiplied by itself. The symbol used to denote the square root is √. This radical symbol is also called sure or root symbol. If a number is a perfect square we can easily find the square root of the number. However, if the given number isn't a perfect square you can find the square root using a long division method. There is one more common notation of square root that you can use in complex calculations.

Standard form to represent the square root is given as √x

The alternative square root formula states that the square root of a number is a number raised to the fraction of one half.

√x = x^(1/2)

Go through the below steps while finding the square root of a number.

• Find the nearest square number above and below the number you are thinking of finding the square root.
• The square root will be between the square roots of these numbers.
• The closeness of the number to a square root indicates how close the root is.
• Try many times to get the square root accurately.

To Simplify Square Roots use the handy square roots property √x = x^(1/2). We can use these two forms of square roots and switch between them whenever you want. You need to check the number after the root symbol and find its factors. It can have a perfect square among its factors. You need to have at least one factor to be a perfect square in order to simplify a square root.

You may find the process of finding square roots a bit complicated in the initial stage but with enough practice, you will find them easily.
