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 706.
The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 706 is not a perfect square. The square root of 706 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √706, whereas (706)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √706 ≈ 26.57066, 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 the long-division method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:
The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 706 is broken down into its prime factors.
Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 706
Breaking it down, we get 2 x 353: 2^1 x 353^1
Step 2: Now that we have found the prime factors of 706, the second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 706 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can't be grouped in pairs. Therefore, calculating 706 using prime factorization is not straightforward.
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 706, we need to group it as 06 and 7.
Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is ≤ 7. We can say n is ‘2’ because 2 x 2 = 4 which is less than 7. Now the quotient is 2, after subtracting 4 from 7, the remainder is 3.
Step 3: Now let us bring down 06, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 2 + 2, we get 4 which will be our new divisor.
Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 4n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.
Step 5: The next step is finding 4n × n ≤ 306. Let us consider n as 7, now 47 x 7 = 329, which is too much, so we try n as 6.
Step 6: 46 x 6 = 276. Subtract 276 from 306, the difference is 30, and the quotient is 26.
Step 7: Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeros to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 3000.
Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 532 because 532 x 5 = 2660.
Step 9: Subtracting 2660 from 3000, we get the result 340.
Step 10: Now the quotient is 26.5.
Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there is no decimal value, continue till the remainder is zero.
So the square root of √706 is approximately 26.57.
The approximation method is another method for finding the 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 706 using the approximation method.
Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √706. The smallest perfect square less than 706 is 676 and the largest perfect square more than 706 is 729. √706 falls somewhere between 26 and 27.
Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula: (Given number - smallest perfect square) ÷ (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Going by the formula (706 - 676) ÷ (729 - 676) = 30 ÷ 53 ≈ 0.566 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 26 + 0.57 = 26.57, so the square root of 706 is approximately 26.57.
Students do make mistakes while finding the square root, such as forgetting about the negative square root or skipping long division methods. Now let us look at a few of those mistakes that students tend to make in detail.
Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √706?
The area of the square is approximately 706 square units.
The area of the square = side².
The side length is given as √706.
Area of the square = side² = √706 x √706 = 706
Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 706 square units.
A square-shaped building measuring 706 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √706, what will be the square feet of half of the building?
353 square feet
We can just divide the given area by 2 as the building is square-shaped.
Dividing 706 by 2, we get 353.
So, half of the building measures 353 square feet.
Calculate √706 x 5.
Approximately 132.85
The first step is to find the square root of 706, which is approximately 26.57. T
he second step is to multiply 26.57 by 5.
So, 26.57 x 5 ≈ 132.85
What will be the square root of (676 + 30)?
The square root is 26.
To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (676 + 30). 676 + 30 = 706, and then √706 ≈ 26.57, which rounds to 26.
Therefore, the square root of (676 + 30) is approximately ±26.57.
Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √706 units and the width ‘w’ is 50 units.
We find the perimeter of the rectangle as approximately 153.14 units.
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 × (√706 + 50) = 2 × (26.57 + 50) = 2 × 76.57 ≈ 153.14 units.
