Square Root of 1100

The square root is the inverse of the square of a number. 1100 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1100 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1100, whereas \(1100^{1/2}\) in the exponential form. √1100 ≈ 33.16625, 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, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect square numbers where 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 1100 is broken down into its prime factors.

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1100 Breaking it down, we get (2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 11): (2^2 × 5^2 × 11^1)

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 1100. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 1100 is not a perfect square, we cannot pair all digits completely.

Therefore, calculating √1100 using prime factorization gives us an approximate result.

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 1100, we need to group it as 10 and 100.

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is 10 or lesser. We can say n is 3 because (3 × 3 = 9), which is less than 10. Now the quotient is 3, and after subtracting 9 from 10, the remainder is 1.

Step 3: Now let us bring down 100, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number (3 + 3 = 6), which will be our new divisor.

Step 4: The new divisor will be part of the new number. Now we have 61 as the new divisor, and we need to find the value of n.

Step 5: The next step is finding (6n × n ≤ 100). Let us consider n as 1, now (61 × 1 = 61).

Step 6: Subtract 61 from 100; the difference is 39, and the quotient becomes 31.

Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point and continue the division. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 3900.

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 633 because (633 × 6 = 3798).

Step 9: Subtracting 3798 from 3900, we get the result 102.

Step 10: Now the quotient is 33.1

Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point or the remainder is zero.

So the square root of √1100 is approximately 33.17

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 approximate the square root of 1100.

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √1100. The smallest perfect square less than 1100 is 1024, and the largest perfect square more than 1100 is 1156. √1100 falls somewhere between 32 and 34.

Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula that is (text{Given number} - text{smallest perfect square}) / (text{Greater perfect square} - text{smallest perfect square})). Going by the formula ((1100 - 1024) ÷ (1156 - 1024) ≈ 0.59375). Using the formula, we identified the decimal point of our square root. The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number, which is (32 + 0.59 ≈ 32.59). However, further refinement through the long division method gives a more accurate approximation of 33.17.

• Square root: A square root is the inverse of a square. Example: (4^2 = 16) and the inverse of the square is the square root, that is √16 = 4.

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

• Perfect square: A perfect square is a number that is the square of an integer. For example, 36 is a perfect square because it is (6^2).

• Decimal approximation: This refers to representing a number approximately using decimals, often due to irrational numbers.

• Long division method: A method used to find square roots of numbers, especially non-perfect squares, through a series of division steps.
