Square Root of 130

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Square root is the number obtained when a number is multiplied with itself. We apply the concept of square root in architecture, to measure volume and surface area. In this article, we’ll learn how to find the square root of 130.

What is the Square Root of 130

The square root of 130 is ±11.4018. Finding the square root of a number is the inverse process of finding the perfect square. The square root of 130 is written as √130.

Finding the square root of 130

The different ways to find the square root of a number are prime factorization, long division and approximation/estimation method.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 130 using prime Factorization Method

The prime factorization of 130 breaks 130 into its prime numbers. 


The numbers 2, 5 and 13 are the prime numbers 


Prime factorization of 130 is 2 × 5 × 13


Since 2, 5 and 13 are not repeating, we can’t pair them


Therefore, √119 is expressed as √2 x √5 x √13, the simplest radical form

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 130 using long division method

The long division method finds the square root of non-perfect squares.


Step 1: Write down the number 130


Step 2: Number 130 is a three-digit number, so pair them as (1), (30)


Step 3: Find the largest that is closest to the first pair (1), which is 12


Step 4: Write down 1 as the quotient, which will be the first digit of the square root.


Step 5: Subtracting 12  from 1 will leave zero as the remainder. Now bring down the second pair (30) and place it beside 0.


Step 6: Now double the quotient you have, that is added the quotient 1 with 2 and the result will be 2


Step 7: Choose a number such that it can be placed after 2. The two-digit number created should be less than the second pair (30). Here, we number 1 after 2, because the number formed will be less than 30.


Step 8: Subtract 21 from 30 → 30-21 =9. Now add a decimal point after the new quotient and adding two zeros will make it 900


Step 9: Apply step 7 over here and continue the process until you reach 0.


Step 10: We can write  √30 as 11.4017

Square root of 130 by Approximation method

The approximation method finds the estimated square root of non-perfect squares.

 

Step 1: Identify the closest perfect square to 130. Numbers 121 and 144 are the closest perfect square to 130.


Step 2: We know that  √121 = 11 and  √144 = 12. Thus, we can say that √130 lies between  11 and 12.


Step 3: Check if  √130 is closer to 11 or 12. Let us take 11.5 and 12. Since (11.5)2 is 132.25 and (12)2 is 144,  √130 lies between them.


Step 4: We can keep changing the values of 11.5 to 11. 6 and iterate the same process without changing 12 as the closest perfect square root.

 

The result of  √130 will be 11.4017
