Square Root of 2006

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 2006.

What is the Square Root of 2006?

The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 2006 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2006 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In radical form, it is expressed as √2006, whereas in exponential form it is expressed as (2006)^(1/2). The square root of 2006 is approximately 44.775. This is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 2006

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, for non-perfect square numbers, the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Long division method 
  • Approximation method
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square Root of 2006 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now, let us look at how 2006 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2006

 

Breaking it down, we get 2 x 17 x 59.

 

Step 2: Now we have found the prime factors of 2006. Since 2006 is not a perfect square, the digits cannot be grouped into pairs. Therefore, calculating the square root of 2006 using prime factorization is not feasible.

Square Root of 2006 by Long Division Method

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 2006, we need to group it as 06 and 20.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is ≤ 20. We can say n is '4' because 4 x 4 = 16, which is lesser than or equal to 20. Now the quotient is 4, and after subtracting 16 from 20, the remainder is 4.

 

Step 3: Bring down 06 to form the new dividend of 406. Add the old divisor with the same number 4 + 4 to get 8, which will be part of our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor will be 80n. We need to find the value of n such that 80n x n ≤ 406. Let's consider n as 5, now 805 x 5 = 4025, which is greater than 406, so consider n as 4.

 

Step 5: The next step is finding 84 x 4 = 336.

 

Step 6: Subtract 336 from 406; the difference is 70.

 

Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we add a decimal point and two zeroes to the dividend. The new dividend is 7000.

 

Step 8: Find the new divisor which is 889, because 889 x 7 = 6223.

 

Step 9: Subtracting 6223 from 7000 gives us 777.

 

Step 10: Now the quotient is 44.7

 

Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. If there is no decimal value, continue till the remainder is zero.

 

So the square root of √2006 is approximately 44.77.

Square Root of 2006 by Approximation Method

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 2006 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares to √2006. The smallest perfect square less than 2006 is 1936 (44^2) and the largest perfect square greater than 2006 is 2025 (45^2). Therefore, √2006 falls somewhere between 44 and 45.

 

Step 2: Apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square).

 

Using the formula: (2006 - 1936) / (2025 - 1936) = 70 / 89 ≈ 0.787. Add this decimal to the smaller integer: 44 + 0.787 ≈ 44.787, so the square root of 2006 is approximately 44.787.

Forgetting about the negative square root

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to remember that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we typically use only the positive square root, as it is the required one.

For example, √50 = 7.07, but there is also -7.07, which should not be forgotten.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √138?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The area of the square is 137.828 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √138.

Area = side^2 = √138 x √138 ≈ 11.747 x 11.747 ≈ 137.828.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 137.828 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 2006 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2006, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

1003 square feet

Explanation

Since the building is square-shaped, we divide the given area by 2.

Dividing 2006 by 2 gives us 1003.

So half of the building measures 1003 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √2006 x 5.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Approximately 223.875

Explanation

First, find the square root of 2006, which is approximately 44.775.

The second step is to multiply 44.775 by 5.

So 44.775 x 5 ≈ 223.875.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (2000 + 6)?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The square root is approximately 44.775.

Explanation

To find the square root, calculate the sum (2000 + 6). 2000 + 6 = 2006, and √2006 ≈ 44.775.

Therefore, the square root of (2000 + 6) is approximately ±44.775.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2006 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 165.55 units.

Explanation

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width).

Perimeter = 2 × (√2006 + 38) ≈ 2 × (44.775 + 38) ≈ 2 × 82.775 ≈ 165.55 units.
