Square Root of 1312

The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 1312 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1312 is expressed in both radical and exponential forms. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1312, whereas in exponential form, it is (1312)^(1/2). √1312 ≈ 36.225, 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, 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

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 1312 is broken down into its prime factors:

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1312

Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 41: 2^5 x 41

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 1312. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 1312 is not a perfect square, calculating √1312 using prime factorization is challenging without further steps.

The long division method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we 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, group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 1312, group it as 12 and 13.

Step 2: Find a number n whose square is less than or equal to 13. Here, n is 3 because 3 x 3 = 9.

Step 3: Subtract 9 from 13; the remainder is 4. Bring down the next pair of digits (12), making the new dividend 412.

Step 4: Double the previous divisor (3), giving us 6. Find a digit x such that 6x multiplied by x is less than or equal to 412. The value of x is 6 because 66 x 6 = 396.

Step 5: Subtract 396 from 412; the remainder is 16. Continue the process with decimal points to get a more precise value of the square root.

Step 6: Continue until you have the desired decimal precision. The square root of 1312 is approximately 36.225.

The approximation method is another way to find 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 1312 using the approximation method.

Step 1: Find the closest perfect square to √1312. The nearest perfect squares are 1296 (36^2) and 1369 (37^2). √1312 falls between 36 and 37.

Step 2: Apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula: (1312 - 1296) / (1369 - 1296) = 16 / 73 ≈ 0.219

Step 3: Add this decimal to 36 to get an approximate square root: 36 + 0.219 ≈ 36.219. So, the square root of 1312 is approximately 36.219.

• Square root: A square root is the inverse of a square. For example, 6^2 = 36, and the inverse is √36 = 6.

• Irrational number: An irrational number cannot be written in the form of p/q, where q is not equal to zero, and p and q are integers.

• Prime factorization: Prime factorization involves breaking down a number into its prime factors.

• Long division method: A technique used to find the square root of non-perfect squares through a step-by-step division process.

• Approximation method: A method to estimate the square root by finding numbers between which the given number's square root lies and using them to calculate an approximate value.
