Let&#8217;s break it down step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Group the digits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by grouping the number into pairs of digits from right to left. In this case, 824 is grouped as:8\u2009248 \\, 24824<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to 8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we look at the first group (8). The largest number whose square is less than or equal to 8 is 2, because 22=42^2 = 422=4, and 32=93^2 = 932=9 (which is too large). So, we write 2 as the first digit of our square root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Subtract and bring down the next group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now subtract 22=42^2 = 422=4 from 8:8\u22124=48 &#8211; 4 = 48\u22124=4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, bring down the next pair of digits (24) next to 4, making it 424.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Double the current digit and find the next digit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, double the 2 (the first digit of our root) to get 4. Write it down as the divisor and leave a space next to it:4_(We&nbsp;will&nbsp;find&nbsp;the&nbsp;next&nbsp;digit&nbsp;here)4 \\_ \\quad \\text{(We will find the next digit here)}4_(We&nbsp;will&nbsp;find&nbsp;the&nbsp;next&nbsp;digit&nbsp;here)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, guess a digit (let\u2019s call it ddd) that will complete the divisor and be multiplied by ddd such that 4d\u00d7d4d \\times d4d\u00d7d is less than or equal to 424. Try 8:48\u00d78=38448 \\times 8 = 38448\u00d78=384<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the next digit is 8. Now, we subtract:424\u2212384=40424 &#8211; 384 = 40424\u2212384=40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: The final square root approximation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage, we have found that the square root of 824 is approximately 28.8 (since the remainder is 40, and we would continue the process to get more precise digits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the square root of 824 is approximately:824\u224828.8\\sqrt{824} \\approx 28.8824\u200b\u224828.8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is often used when you need a quick approximation, and while this result isn&#8217;t exact, it is close enough for many practical purposes. For more precision, you would continue with more steps of long division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/learnexams-banner8-18.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240580\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find the square root of the following by finding the digit and the quotient. 824 The Correct Answer and Explanation is: To find the square root of 824, we&#8217;ll use the method of long division.
