Square Root 1 to 50

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The square root of any number is the value that, when the value is multiplied by itself twice you get the given number again. It is used for measuring diagonals in mathematics, finding kinetic energy and velocity in physics, etc. In this topic, we shall learn more about square root from 1 to 50.

Square Root 1 to 50

The square root of a number and squaring a number are the inverse or opposite operations of a number. Square of a number is a value that you get when you multiply the given number (x) by itself twice, it is called squaring a number (squared). Whereas, the square root of a number is a number value that when the value (y) multiplied by itself twice, gets the original given number (x). For example, if you are given a number x, the square of that number is x × x = x2. And the square root of that number is, √x = y, where when you multiply y twice, you get x.

How to Calculate Square Roots 1 to 50

There are several ways to calculate the square root of numbers from 1 to 50, be it for quick estimation or precise answers. Here are two of the easiest methods to find the square root of any given number.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Prime Factorization Method

Prime factorization is a way to represent a given number as a product of its prime numbers. In order to find the square root of a given number through prime factorization, we need to follow these given steps:

 

Step 1: Let’s consider the given number as 36, for example.

 

Step 2: Now, perform the prime factorization of 36.

    Start dividing 36 by the smallest prime number 2

        36 ÷ 2 = 18

    Divide 18 by 2 again
    
        18 ÷ 2 = 9

    Divide 9 by 2 

        9 ÷ 2 = 4 (quotient) and 1 (remainder)

    Since 9 isn’t divisible by 2, we take the next prime number and continue dividing

        9 ÷ 3 = 3

    Divide 3 by 3 again

        3 ÷ 3 = 0

    Thus, we can say that the prime factorization of 36 is 

        36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 22 × 32

Step 3: Group the prime factors in pairs

        22 × 32 = (2 × 2) (3 × 3)

Step 4: Take one number from each pair 

        (2 × 2) ⇒ 2

        (3  3) ⇒ 3

Step 5: Multiply the two numbers

        2 × 3 = 6

Thus, the square root of 36 is 6.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Division Method

In the division method, large numbers are broken down into smaller simpler steps, breaking the division problem into a chain of easier steps. Let’s understand the steps one by one:

 

Step 1: First, pair the digits of the number (starting from the unit's place).

 Since 36 has only two digits, it forms one group = 36

 

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

 The largest number whose square is ≤ 36

 6 × 6 = 36, so 6 is the largest number 

  Write 6 as the first digit of the square root.

 

Step 3: Subtract the square of 6 from the number 36.

Subtract 62 = 36 from 36

36 – 36 = 0

Since the remainder is 0, the division process ends here.

Thus, the square root of 36 is 6.

Rules for Calculating Square Root 1 to 50

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 making errors while rounding a number.

Tips and Tricks for Square Root 1 to 50

  • The simplest and easiest trick to find a square root is to memorize the perfect squares, that is from 12 to 102. This will help the kids find the squares of numbers between 1 to 100.
     
  • Try drawing a grid on a piece of paper where you square numbers and color in squares to represent the perfect squares. This can help you visualize how square roots work.
     
  • Always break down steps into simple steps in order to find the square root faster.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Square Roots 1 to 100

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Misunderstanding the Concept of Square Roots
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids might think that the square root of a number is always an integer. For example, assuming √2 is 1. Remember that square roots are not always integers. Only perfect squares such as 1, 4, 9, 16 have integer square roots. For non-perfect squares, the square root is irrational and can only be approximated.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

 Relying on Approximation Without Precision
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids might incorrectly approximate square roots. For example, estimating  √50 as 6.8 instead of 7.07. It is always best to teach kids to memorize the square of numbers 1 to 10, so it is easier for them to approximate faster.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Ignoring the Negative Square Root 
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

 Kids might forget that a number has both positive and negative square roots. For example, assuming √16 is only +4. They must remember that the root of any number will have both positive and negative answers. That is x = ±y.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Mixing Up Squaring with Square Roots
 

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

 Kids might confuse squaring and square root. For example, assuming 52 = √5 . Always remember that the square root and squaring of a number are inverse operations and not the same.

Mistake 5

Mistaking Method for Finding Square Roots

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

There is a possibility that kids might use some random made-up math trick to find the square root of a number. For example, if they want to find the square root of 25, they might think that since 9 + 16 = 25, they can find the square root of 9 and 16 separately and then add them together. 


That is, they will break down 25 into 9 + 16, 

Then find √9 and √16, which are 3 and 4, 

Add them together 3 + 4 = 7, 

Finally, conclude that 7 is the answer.

Square Root 1 to 50 Examples

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

Problem 1

Find the square root of 49 using prime factorization.

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

√49 = 7

Explanation

Prime factorization of 49 = 7 × 7

Group the factors: (7 × 7)

Take one number from the group = 7

Thus, the square root of 49 is 7

Problem 2

Estimate the square root of 20 to one decimal place.

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

√20 ≈ 4.5

Explanation

Identify the perfect squares around 20

 16 = 42 and 25 = 52

  √20 lies between 4 and 5

    Using approximation, that is try multiplying 4.1, 4.2, 4.3,...

            4.1 × 4.1 = 16.81

            4.2 × 4.2 = 17.64

            4.3 × 4.3 = 18.49

            4.4 × 4.4 = 19.36

            4.5 × 4.5 = 20.25

    So we can conclude that √20 lies between 4.4 and 4.5.

    When approximating it into one decimal place, you get √20 ≈ 4.5.

Problem 3

Find the square root of 16/25

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

 16/25 = 0.8
 

Explanation

Take the square root of the numerator and denominator separately

  16/25 = 4/5 = 0.8

Problem 4

Which number between 1 and 50 has a square root of approximately 7?

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

The number is 49.

Explanation

First, let’s find the square root of numbers between 1 and 50 that are close to 7.

The number 36 is a perfect square, which is 6 × 6 = 36

Now we know that 36 is a perfect square, and it is near to 49. 

Try with the next number 7. 

When you multiply 7 × 7, you get 49. 

Thus, the number 49 is the approximate square root of 7

Problem 5

What is the square root of 1 and how is it different from other square roots?

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

The square root of 1 is 1.

Explanation

The square root of 1 is the number that when we multiply by itself equals 1.

That is, 1 × 1 = 1, so the square root of 1 is also 1.

Unlike the other numbers, 1 is the only number whose square root is itself.

Important Glossaries for Square Root 1 to 50

Square Root: Square root of a number is a value (y) that, when the value is multiplied by itself, equals the original given number (x). For example, the square root of 16 is 4 because 4  4 = 16.

Perfect Squares: Perfect squares are numbers that are the product (sum) of integers multiplied by itself. For example, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 are perfect squares because they result from 12, 22, 32, 42, 52 respectively. 

Prime Factorization: The process of expressing a number as the product of its prime numbers (prime factors). For example, the prime factorization of 36 is 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 22 × 32.
