Square Root of 5314

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 5314.

Square Root of 5314 for Indian Students

What is the Square Root of 5314?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 5314 is not a perfect square. The square root of 5314 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √5314, whereas (5314)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √5314 ≈ 72.9125, 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.

Finding the Square Root of 5314

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where long-division and approximation methods are used. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

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

Square Root of 5314 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 5314 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 5314 Breaking it down, we get 2 × 2657. 2657 is a prime number, so the complete factorization is 2 × 2657.

 

Step 2: Since 5314 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number cannot be grouped into pairs.

 

Therefore, calculating 5314 using prime factorization directly to find the square root is impractical.

Square Root of 5314 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 5314, we need to group it as 53 and 14.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 53. We can say n is '7' because 7 × 7 = 49, which is the largest square less than 53. Now the quotient is 7, and the remainder is 53 - 49 = 4.

 

Step 3: Bring down the next pair of digits, 14, making the new dividend 414. Add the old divisor with itself, 7 + 7 = 14.

 

Step 4: Use 14 as the new divisor and find a digit n such that 14n × n is less than or equal to 414. Let's consider n as 2, then 142 × 2 = 284.

 

Step 5: Subtract 284 from 414, the difference is 130, and the quotient is 72.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend is still greater than the divisor, add a decimal point to the quotient and bring down two zeros to the remainder, making the new dividend 13000.

 

Step 7: Continue the process, finding the new divisor and subtracting, until the desired precision is reached.

 

Step 8: The approximate square root of √5314 is 72.9125.

Square Root of 5314 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 5314 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √5314.

 

The smallest perfect square less than 5314 is 5184, and the closest perfect square greater than 5314 is 5329. √5314 falls somewhere between 72 and 73.

 

Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) ÷ (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square)

 

Using the formula: (5314 - 5184) ÷ (5329 - 5184) = 130 ÷ 145 ≈ 0.8966 Adding this decimal to the integer part, we have 72 + 0.8966 ≈ 72.9125.

 

So, the square root of 5314 is approximately 72.9125.

Forgetting about the negative square root

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to make students aware that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we usually take 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 √5314?

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

The area of the square is approximately 5314 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side².

The side length is given as √5314.

Area of the square = side² = √5314 × √5314 = 5314.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 5314 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 5314 square feet is built. If each of the sides is √5314, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

2657 square feet

Explanation

We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.

Dividing 5314 by 2, we get 2657.

So, half of the building measures 2657 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √5314 × 5.

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

Approximately 364.56

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 5314, which is approximately 72.9125.

The second step is to multiply 72.9125 by 5.

So, 72.9125 × 5 ≈ 364.56.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (5296 + 18)?

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

The square root is approximately 73.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (5296 + 18). 5296 + 18 = 5314, and √5314 is approximately 72.9125.

Therefore, the square root of (5296 + 18) is approximately ±72.9125.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √5314 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.

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

We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 221.825 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√5314 + 38) = 2 × (72.9125 + 38) ≈ 2 × 110.9125 ≈ 221.825 units.
