What is the square root of 10000 by the long division method?

Published in Mathematics 2 mins read

The square root of 10000, calculated using the long division method, is 100.

Here's a breakdown of how the long division method is applied to find the square root of 10000:

  1. Group the digits: Start by grouping the digits of the number (10000) in pairs, starting from the right. In this case, we have 1 00 00.

  2. Find the largest square less than or equal to the leftmost group: The leftmost group is "1". The largest perfect square less than or equal to 1 is 1 itself (1 x 1 = 1). Write "1" as the quotient and subtract 1 from the leftmost group.

        1
    √1 00 00
    - 1
    -------
        0
  3. Bring down the next pair of digits: Bring down the next pair "00" to the right of the remainder. Now we have 000, or simply 00.

        1
    √1 00 00
    - 1
    -------
        0 00
  4. Double the quotient and find the next digit: Double the current quotient (1), which gives you 2. Now we need to find a digit (let's call it 'x') such that (2x) * x is less than or equal to 00. Since we have just 00 as the next number, x=0 works the best.

        1 0
    √1 00 00
    - 1
    -------
        0 00
     -  0
     ------
        00
  5. Bring down the next pair of digits: Bring down the next pair of digits "00".

        1 0
    √1 00 00
    - 1
    -------
        0 00
     -  0
     ------
        00 00
  6. Double the quotient and find the next digit: Double the current quotient (10), which gives you 20. Now we need to find a digit (let's call it 'x') such that (20x) * x is less than or equal to 0000. x=0 also works here.

        1 0 0
    √1 00 00
    - 1
    -------
        0 00
     -  0
     ------
        00 00
     -  0
     -------
        0
  7. Final Answer: Since the remainder is 0, the square root of 10000 is 100.
