Example
Q. Find the square root of 6084.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the division.
Step 2: Mark pairs of digits from the units end. The pairs are 84 and 60.
Step 3: Find the perfect square equal to or lower than the first pair from the left. The first pair is 60.
49 is a perfect square and 49 ≤ 60.
49 = 72
Step 4: Multiply above and add below.
7 × 7 = 49
7 + 7 = 14
Step 5: Draw a box next to the sum and subtract the product from the number above it. 60 – 49 = 11
Step 6: Bring the next pair down. The next pair is 84.
