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 various fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 613.
The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 613 is not a perfect square. The square root of 613 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √613, whereas in exponential form it is expressed as (613)^(1/2). √613 ≈ 24.7588, 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 the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 613 is broken down into its prime factors:
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 613. 613 is a prime number itself, so it cannot be broken down into smaller prime factors. Since 613 is not a perfect square, calculating √613 using prime factorization is not possible.
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: Start by grouping the numbers from right to left. In the case of 613, the grouping remains as 613.
Step 2: Find the largest integer n such that n² is less than or equal to 6. n = 2 because 2² = 4, which is less than 6. The quotient is 2, and the remainder is 6 - 4 = 2.
Step 3: Bring down the next pair of digits (13) to get 213. Double the quotient 2 to get 4 as the starting digit of the new divisor.
Step 4: Determine n such that 4n × n ≤ 213. n = 5 because 45 × 5 = 225, which is greater than 213. Therefore, n = 4.
Step 5: Subtract 204 (44 × 4) from 213 to get 9 as the remainder. Add a decimal point and bring down the next pair of zeros to make it 900.
Step 6: The new divisor is 48n, and find n such that 48n × n ≤ 900. n = 1 because 481 × 1 = 481, and subtracting gives a remainder of 419.
Step 7: Continue this process to refine the answer to two decimal places. The square root of √613 is approximately 24.7588.
The approximation method is another method for finding square roots. It is an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Let us learn how to find the square root of 613 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Identify the closest perfect squares to 613. The smallest perfect square less than 613 is 576 (24²), and the largest perfect square less than 625 is (25²).
Step 2: Since 613 is between 576 and 625, √613 is between 24 and 25.
Step 3: Use linear approximation or trial and error to narrow down the square root further. For example, testing values between 24 and 25 gives √613 ≈ 24.7588.
Students sometimes make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root or skipping steps in the long division method. Let's look at a few common mistakes in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √613?
The area of the square is approximately 613 square units.
The area of a square = side².
The side length is given as √613.
Area of the square = side² = √613 × √613 = 613.
Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 613 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 613 square feet is built. If each of the sides is √613, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
306.5 square feet
We can divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.
Dividing 613 by 2, we get 306.5.
So half of the building measures 306.5 square feet.
Calculate √613 × 5.
Approximately 123.794
First, find the square root of 613, which is approximately 24.7588. Then multiply 24.7588 by 5. So 24.7588 × 5 ≈ 123.794.
What will be the square root of (613 + 12)?
The square root is approximately 25.
To find the square root, first find the sum of (613 + 12). 613 + 12 = 625, and then √625 = 25. Therefore, the square root of (613 + 12) is ±25.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √613 units and the width ‘w’ is 20 units.
The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 89.52 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width). Perimeter = 2 × (√613 + 20) = 2 × (24.7588 + 20) ≈ 2 × 44.7588 ≈ 89.52 units.
