Question

how do you find the square root of a number without using a calculator?

Answer 1

in which level of math do u need help?

Answer 2

btw, we use price factorization.

Answer 3

Unless it is a perfect square which is trivial, using an iterative method is best.
e.g. if you want the square root of y then do:
x_n+1 = 0.5 * (x_n + y/x_n)
Do this as many times as you want for arbitrary precision.

Answer 4

idk what level of math it is.. it is for the ACT..and what is price factorization
