What is the Square Root of 4096?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 4096 is a perfect square. The square root of 4096 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √4096, whereas (4096)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √4096 = 64, which is a rational number because it can be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.

Finding the Square Root of 4096

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. Since 4096 is a perfect square, we can use the prime factorization method to find its square root. Other methods such as long division and approximation can also verify the result. Let us now learn the following methods:

 

  • Prime Factorization Method
  • Long Division Method

Square Root of 4096 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 4096 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 4096. Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2: 2^12.

 

Step 2: Now we found the prime factors of 4096. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 4096 is a perfect square, we can pair the digits: (2^6) x (2^6).

 

Step 3: Therefore, √4096 = 2^6 = 64.

Square Root of 4096 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly used for finding the square root, especially when the number is large. Let us now learn how to find the square root of 4096 using the long division method, step by step:

 

Step 1: Group the digits in pairs starting from the right. 4096 is already grouped as 40 and 96.

 

Step 2: Find the largest number whose square is less than or equal to the first group, 40. That number is 6, because 6 x 6 = 36.

 

Step 3: Subtract 36 from 40, and bring down the next pair of digits, 96, to make the new dividend 496.

 

Step 4: Double the quotient obtained so far (6) to get 12, which will be the starting part of the new divisor.

 

Step 5: Find a digit n such that 12n x n is less than or equal to 496. The digit is 4, as 124 x 4 = 496.

 

Step 6: Subtract 496 from 496, the remainder is 0.

 

Step 7: Since there's no remainder and no more digits to bring down, the square root of 4096 is the quotient obtained, which is 64.

Square Root of 4096 by Approximation Method

Since 4096 is a perfect square, the approximation method is not necessary. However, if we were to approximate, we would look for perfect squares near 4096. 4096 itself is a perfect square, hence the square root is exactly 64.

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 does have both positive and negative square roots. However, we often take only the positive square root, as it is the required one in many practical applications.

For example, √4096 = 64, but there is also -64.

Square Root of 4096 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √4096?

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

The area of the square is 4096 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √4096.

Area of the square = side^2 = √4096 x √4096 = 64 x 64 = 4096.

Therefore, the area of the square box is 4096 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 4096 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √4096, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

2048 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 4096 by 2 = 2048.

So half of the building measures 2048 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √4096 x 5.

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

320

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 4096, which is 64.

The second step is to multiply 64 by 5.

So, 64 x 5 = 320.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (4000 + 96)?

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

The square root is 64.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (4000 + 96).

4000 + 96 = 4096, and then √4096 = 64.

Therefore, the square root of (4000 + 96) is ±64.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √4096 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 204 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√4096 + 38)

= 2 × (64 + 38)

= 2 × 102

= 204 units.
