Hey People
In last topic i covered how to find squares quickly but what if we have to reverse situations that is we are given the squares and we need to find its root.
For this i will show you one trick.
P.S : The trick is applicable to perfect squares only.
To know if given number is perfect square or not click here.
consider any number say
216
(256)1/2
method:
check last digit of number and match it with last digit of square from 1 to 10
here last digit is 6 so 6 comes in square of 4 and 6.so last digit of square root of 216 will be either 4 or 6
(7056)1/2
now leaving last two digit number formed is 70
square root of largest perfect square number smaller than 70
64 is largest perfect square less than 70 and square root of 64 is 8.
so there are two square root possible for 7056 i.e 84 and 86, to finalize answer find out square root of middle term 85 ( 84<85 br=""> (85)2=7225
7225>7056 so answer is 84 85>

here last digit is 6 so 6 comes in square of 4 and 6.so last digit of square root of 216 will be either 4 or 6
6/4
next take digits except last two digit and take find out largest perfect square available less than the number formed from digits selected
here 2 is number and 1 is largest perfect square smaller than 2 so square root of 1 is 1
first digit is final i.e. 1
1 6 /4 -------->16 or 14
now to decide from 6 and 4 we will take number between 14 and 16
so 15 square is 225(to find of square of multiple of 5 quickly )
so 256 is greater than 225 so take 16
square root of 256 is 16
here 2 is number and 1 is largest perfect square smaller than 2 so square root of 1 is 1
first digit is final i.e. 1
1 6 /4 -------->16 or 14
now to decide from 6 and 4 we will take number between 14 and 16
so 15 square is 225(to find of square of multiple of 5 quickly )
so 256 is greater than 225 so take 16
square root of 256 is 16
Question 1:
find square root of following(7056)1/2
- 81
- 83
- 84
- 86
- none of these
Answer
Answer
From last digit 6 we find out last digit of square root is either 4 or 6now leaving last two digit number formed is 70
square root of largest perfect square number smaller than 70
64 is largest perfect square less than 70 and square root of 64 is 8.
so there are two square root possible for 7056 i.e 84 and 86, to finalize answer find out square root of middle term 85 ( 84<85 br=""> (85)2=7225
7225>7056 so answer is 84 85>
