If a number is multiplied by the same number, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in the field of vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 2624.
The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 2624 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2624 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √2624, whereas (2624)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √2624 ≈ 51.223, which is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.
The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods: Prime factorization method Long division method Approximation method
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 2624 is broken down into its prime factors. Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2624 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41: 2^5 x 41^1 Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 2624. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2624 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pair fully. Therefore, calculating 2624 using prime factorization can give us an approximate value.
The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. Let us now learn how to find the square root using the long division method, step by step. Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 2624, we need to group it as 24 and 26. Step 2: Find a number whose square is less than or equal to 26. We can consider '5' because 5 x 5 = 25. The quotient is 5 and the remainder is 1. Step 3: Bring down 24, making the new dividend 124. Add the old divisor (5) to itself to get 10, which will be part of our new divisor. Step 4: Find a digit 'n' such that 10n x n is less than or equal to 124. We find n = 1, thus making 101 x 1 = 101. Step 5: Subtract 101 from 124, giving us a remainder of 23. The quotient is now 51. Step 6: Add a decimal point and bring down two zeros, making the new dividend 2300. Step 7: Double the quotient part (51) for the new divisor: 102. Find n such that 102n x n is less than 2300. We find n = 2, such that 1022 x 2 = 2044. Step 8: Subtract 2044 from 2300, resulting in 256. Step 9: Continue this process until you reach the desired precision. The approximate square root is 51.223.
The approximation method is another method for finding square roots; it is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 2624 using the approximation method. Step 1: Identify the closest perfect squares around 2624. The smallest perfect square below 2624 is 2601 (51^2) and the largest perfect square above 2624 is 2704 (52^2). √2624 falls between 51 and 52. Step 2: Apply the formula (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula, (2624 - 2601) / (2704 - 2601) = 23 / 103 ≈ 0.223 Add this decimal to the smaller whole number: 51 + 0.223 = 51.223.
Students often make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root and skipping steps in the long division method. Let's look at some of these mistakes in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √2624?
The area of the square is approximately 2624 square units.
The area of the square = side^2. The side length is given as √2624. Area of the square = side^2 = √2624 x √2624 = 2624. Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 2624 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 2624 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2624, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
1312 square feet
Since the building is square-shaped, we can divide the given area by 2. Dividing 2624 by 2, we get 1312. So half of the building measures 1312 square feet.
Calculate √2624 x 5.
Approximately 256.115
The first step is to find the square root of 2624, which is approximately 51.223. The second step is to multiply 51.223 by 5. So, 51.223 x 5 ≈ 256.115.
What will be the square root of (2624 + 76)?
The square root is approximately 52.
To find the square root, first calculate the sum (2624 + 76). 2624 + 76 = 2700, and then √2700 ≈ 52. Therefore, the square root of (2624 + 76) is approximately ±52.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2624 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.
The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 178.446 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width) Perimeter = 2 × (√2624 + 38) = 2 × (51.223 + 38) = 2 × 89.223 ≈ 178.446 units.
Square root: A square root is the inverse of a square. For example, 4^2 = 16, and the inverse of the square is the square root, which is √16 = 4. Irrational number: An irrational number is a number that cannot be written in the form of p/q, where q is not zero and p and q are integers. Principal square root: A number has both positive and negative square roots, but the positive square root is often used in real-world applications, known as the principal square root. Prime factorization: Breaking down a number into its basic prime factors, such as 2^5 x 41 for 2624. Long division method: A systematic approach to finding the square root of non-perfect squares through division and approximation.
