Square root can be calculated by hand but is often not. Many of the numbers are easy to remember the square root of and it is typically simple to solve for if the number is small enough. However, there is no single way to solve for the square root of a number. The only constant is the format at which a square root problem looks like, which is this:
Your result will be a single number. This number, when multiplied by itself, will equal the number that you entered into the lone field of this tool. There are instances of numbers that have no square root and can not be processed, zero being one of them.
Finding the square root of a number can easily be done with this tool. The steps required include:
We have a set of numbers that we want to find the square root of. They are 6, 10, 81, 1,505, and -9. We will start with 6 by entering it into the lone field here and hit calculate to get a square root of 2.44949. Next, we will do 10. When we hit calculate we get a square root of 3.16228. Now we will do 81, when we hit calculate we get a square root of 9. Now we can try 1,505 which gives us an answer of 38.79433. Finally, we will do -9. That is not a viable number as numbers need to be greater than 0 to be used with this tool.
Yes, you can find the square root of some numbers easily without a calculator. Some numbers, mainly those that produce a decimal point answer, will not be easy to calculate by hand. Here's a brief explanation of how to manually find the square root:
You cannot get the square root of a negative number or of zero.
