Square Root of 1 to 30

The number, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number and is called the square root of the number. For example, the square root of 16 is ±4, because multiplying 4 with itself gives 16, 4 × 4 = 16. It is the opposite of squaring a number. Square roots can be rational like √4 = 2 or irrational like √2 = 1.414.

Square Root 1 to 30 for Perfect Square

The square root of perfect squares from 1 to 30 refers to finding the exact numbers that, when multiplied by themselves, equal perfect square numbers within this range, such as 1, 4, 9, 16, and 25. Exploring these helps us understand the concept of square roots and their relation to perfect squares.

Square Root 1 to 30 for Non-Perfect Square

The square root of non-perfect squares from 1 to 30 involves finding approximate values for numbers that do not have whole numbers as their square roots, such as 2, 3, 5, and 7. This introduces the concept of irrational numbers and how square roots are calculated or estimated.

How to Calculate Square Root 1 to 30

Calculating squares can be done using methods like prime factorization, division method, or approximation for non-perfect squares. 
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factorization Method

Prime factorization is a method involving breaking a number into its prime factors, pairing identical factors, and then multiplying one factor from each pair to find the square root of a perfect square. Let’s understand how to find a square root using the prime factorization method:

 

Step 1: Let’s consider 16 as the example

 

Step 2: First break down the given number into its prime factors. 

        16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

 

Step 3: Group the factors into pairs
        16 = (2 × 2) (2 × 2)

 

Step 4: Take one factor from each pair
        (2 × 2) ⇒ 2
        (2 × 2) ⇒ 2

 

Step 5: Multiply the two numbers from both the pairs 
        2 × 2 = 4

 

Thus, the square root of 16 is 4
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Division Method

The division method, also known as the long division method, is a step-by-step process used to find the square root of a number by dividing it into groups of digits and estimating the square root digit by digit. This method is especially useful for finding square roots of large numbers or non-perfect squares.

 

Step 1: First, group the digits into pairs (from the left to right)

Consider, the number that we got is 16. 16 is two digits, so we don’t have to make it into a pair.

 

Step 2: Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to the first pair.

The largest number whose square is less than or equal to the first pair of digits. For 16, the square of 4 is 16, which is equal to 16.

So, the first digit of the square root is 4. 

 

Step 3: Subtract and bring down the next pair 

Now, subtract the square of the number (4 in this case) from the first pair of digits:

16 – 16 = 0

Since there are no more digits to bring down, the remainder is 0, and the process ends here.

 

Thus, the square root of 16 is 4.

Rules for Calculating Square Roots 1 to 30

Rule 1: Simplify square roots for perfect squares

 

Rule 2: Approximation for non-perfect squares

 

Rule 3: Use of fractions for roots of decimals

 

Rule 4: Avoid rounding errors in calculations

Tips and Tricks for Square Root 1 to 30

You can achieve faster and more accurate results by following simple tips and tricks while finding the square root of any given number. Here are some of the tips and tricks that you can follow while doing square root:

  • Memorize the squares of numbers from 1 to 10, which will help you quickly identify the square root of the perfect squares.
     
  • Use approximation for non-perfect squares, because finding the exact value of the square root for a non-perfect square is hard.
     
  • Break down the numbers into prime factors, and complex steps into a simple step-by-step process. This makes finding square roots faster and more accurate.
     
  • Using long division for larger numbers is advisable.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Square Root 1 to 30

Kids while learning to square and square root, might make silly mistakes because of ignorance or confusion. Here are some of the common mistakes that kids might make and how to avoid them

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Confusing Square Root with Division    

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids treat the square root symbol √x as dividing the number by 2. For example, assuming √16 = 16/2 = 8. Remember that the square root means finding a number that, when squared, equals the given number. √16 = 4 because 4 × 4 = 16.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Forgetting Negative Square Roots

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Ignoring that both positive and negative numbers can be squared to produce the same result. For example, y2 = 16 has two solutions: y = 4 and y = – 4. Always write both solutions for equations involving y2, unless the context specifies only the positive square root.
 

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Using Incorrect Approximation for Non-perfect Squares
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Making a poor estimation for non-perfect squares. For example, estimating √10 ≈ 2.5 instead of ≈ 3.16. Identify the two closest perfect squares and estimate carefully between them. For √10, it’s between √9 = 3 and √16 = 4. 

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Skipping Steps in Prime Factorization 
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Missing a prime factor or pairing incorrectly. For example, while finding √36, missing a factor results in an incorrect answer. Always remember to write all the prime factors, group them into pairs, and ensure every pair contributes one factor to the square root. 

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Misapplying the Long Division Method

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Errors in pairing digits, misplacing the decimal point, or incorrect subtraction steps are some common misapplications. For this, practice the long division method step by step air the digits carefully, and verify each subtraction before proceeding to the next.

Square Root 1 to 30 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

What is the square root of 9?

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

The square root of 9 is 3.
 

Explanation

Prime factorization of 9 = 3 × 3

Group the factors into pairs and take one out of each

3 × 3 ⇒ 3

Thus, 3 is the square root of 9.

Max from BrightChamps Praising Clear Math Explanations
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 2

What is the square root of 8 using the approximation method?

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

The square root of 8 is approximately 2.8.

Explanation

To find the root of 8. 

First, find out the nearest perfect squares of 8.

The numbers 4 (22) and the 9 (32)

So we can guess that the square root of 8 will be anywhere between 2 and 3.

Try approximating the numbers

2.1 × 2.1 = 4.41

2.2 × 2.2 = 4.84

2.3 × 2.3 = 5.29

2.4 × 2.4 = 5.76

2.5 × 2.5 = 6.25

2.6 × 2.6 = 6.76

2.7 × 2.7 = 7.29

2.8 × 2.8 = 7.84

2.9 × 2.9 = 8.41

So, we can conclude that the square root of 8 is anywhere between 2.8 and 2.9

But by approximation √8 ≈ 2.8.

Problem 3

Find the square root of 49 using the division method.

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

The square root of 49 is ±7.

Explanation

First pair of the digits of 49 (since it’s a two-digit number, we only have one pair ⇒ 49)

Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to 49.

The number 7 × 7 = 49

The square root of 49 is 7.

Max from BrightChamps Praising Clear Math Explanations
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 4

Solve √x = 6

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

x = 36
 

Explanation

To solve for x, square both sides of the equation

(√x)2 = 62 

By simplifying this 

x = 36

Thus, the value x is 36.

Max from BrightChamps Praising Clear Math Explanations

Problem 5

Solve y² = 81

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

y = 9

Explanation

To solve y, take the square root of both sides of the equation.

(√y)2 = √81

Which simplifies to y = 9 

Thus, y = 9
