Number System is a method of representing Numbers on the Number Line with the help of a set of Symbols and rules. These symbols range from 0-9 and are termed digits. Number System is used to perform mathematical computations ranging from great scientific calculations to calculations like counting the number of Toys for a Kid or Number chocolates remaining in the box.
Square root
The Square root of a number is that value which when multiplied by itself will give its original number. The square root is represented with the symbol √ called as radical or radix followed by the number which is called radicand i.e., √x.
For example:
√4 = 2
√9 = 3
√16 = 4
√25 = 5
How to find the square root of 80
There are multiple ways to find the square root of 80, the square root of 80 (√80), or any other number can be found with the help of the following three methods,
- Estimation and Approximation
- Prime Factorization
- Long Division Method
Estimation and Approximation :
The number S is expressed as a * 102n in scientific notation and √S ≈ 6 * 10n , if a >= 10
√80 ≈ 6, with an absolute error of 2.9
Prime Factorization:
- Step 1: Find the prime factors of 80.
80 = (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5)
- Step 2: Pair similar factors.
√80 = √((2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × 5)
√80 = 2 × 2 × √(5)
√80 = 4√5 ≈ 8.94
Long Division Method:
- Step 1: Try to make pairs of 2 digits. From right to left before the decimal point and left to right after decimal points.
- Step 2: Find a number n, such that when multiplied by itself given a number, which is less than or equal to 80. Here, n is 8 as 8 * 8 gives 64. Dividing 80 by 8, we get the quotient as 8 and the remainder as 16.
- Step 3: Drop the next pair down. Here, next is 00 and put it after the remainder of the previous operation which gives us 1600 as a new dividend.
- Step 4: Double the divisor of previous operations, i.e n which gives us 16, and find the largest possible digit(X) such that the quotient for which the product of 16X and X results in a value less than or equal to 1600.
- Step 5: Divide and write the remainder.
- Step 6: Repeat this process according to a given precision
