Square Roots and Factorization Methods

The document discusses methods for finding the square root of a number. The square root of a number n is the number that, when multiplied by itself, equals n. There are two main methods: the prime factorization method, which involves factorizing the number into prime factors and pairing them, and the division method, which involves pairing digits from right to left. Examples are provided of using each method to find the square root of numbers like 3600, 144, and 10404.

SQUARE ROOT

A number n is called the square root of a number ( ) is obtained by


multiplying the number n with itself only once. The symbol for square root is ‘ ’.
For the square root of 4 i.e., and etc.
Generally there are two methods for finding the square root :
(i) Prime Factorisation method
(ii) Division method

(i) Factorisation Method : In this method first we find out the prime factors and then we
paired them as given below.
Find the square root of 3600.
The factors of 3600
=
So the square root of 3600 i.e.,

=60

Find the square root of 144.


The factors of 144 =
So

Find the square root of 10404.


The factors of 10404 =

(ii) Division Method : In this method first of all we make pairs from the right side towards
left and then solve.
