SQUARE ROOT and CUBE ROOT
Square Root – it is a number that is equal to
the number, multiplied by
itself, two times.
Cube Root – it is a number that is equal
to the number, multiplied
by itself, three times.

PERFECT SQUARE
- it is the square of a number.
Examples:
9 = 3 x 3 or 𝟑 𝟐
36 = 6 x 6 or 𝟔 𝟐
64 = 8 x 8 or 𝟖 𝟐

PRIME FACTORS or PRIME NUMBERS
- it is a number that can be divided only
by itself and 1.
Examples:
7=7x1
19 = 19 x 1
31 = 31 x 1

RATIONAL or IRRATIONAL
Examples:
𝟑𝟔 = 6 (rational)
𝟖𝟏 = 9 (rational)
𝟓𝟎 = 7.071068 = 7.07 (irrational)
𝟏𝟎𝟗 = 10.440306 = 10.44 (irrational)
Two Ways in Finding the
Perfect Square and
Perfect Cube
1. Prime Factorization
2. Continuous Division

Finding the square root using
CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Example:
1. 400
=2x2x2x2x5x5
=2x2x5
= 20
Therefore, 400 is a perfect square.
Finding the square root using
CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Example:
2. 980
=2x2x5x7x7
= One factor, 5 does not have a pair or
does not appear two times.
Therefore, 980 is not a perfect square.

Finding the cube root using
CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Example:
1. 1 000
=2x2x2x5x5x5
=2x5
= 10
Therefore, 1 000 is a perfect cube.
Finding the square root using
CONTINUOUS DIVISION
Example:
2. 250
=2x5x5x5
= One factor, 2 does not appear
three times.
Therefore, 250 is not a perfect cube.
Finding the cube root using

=
= 10
Therefore, 1 000 is a perfect cube.
