Algorithm of the
Square Root
1st) We grouped the figures in pairs. 5th) We seek the largest integer
two starting from the right. The possible that when putting it to
first group (the one that is at the continuation of the number that
left) can be formed by we just calculated (4 in this
a single digit or add 0 to it case) and multiply the result by
left. that same number, the result not
surpass the rest that we have until the
July 29 moment (329 and our example).
Considering that:
2nd) We calculate the integer root of
first group. 46 · 6 = 276
Note:
07 29 2 07 2 47 · 7 = 329
48 · 8 = 384
We choose the number 7.
3rd) We subtract from the first group the July 29 2
square of its whole root and 4 47 7=329
we lowered the next group (of
form similar to how we do in
3 29
the divisions). 6º) We add that number (the 7) to
continuation of the figures of the root
07 29 2 that we have already calculated (in this case
4 the 2) and we subtract the result from the
multiplication that we just
329 to make the rest that we have from before.
4º) We multiply the figures by 2 In this step, the algorithm ends,
the root that we have (in this case well, there are no more pairs of
we only have 2). numbers to drop. The root is
exact, since the remainder is 0.
