Square root of 91.

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

When someone asks you to explain a square root, you can just tell that it is a number when multiplied by itself produces the same number. As we continue with our explanation, let’s assume the value of 91 Here 91 is considered as a non-perfect square root since it contain either decimal or fraction. Let's learn more about square roots in this article.

Finding the square root of 91.

There are many ways through which students can find square roots, and some of these methods are very popular. Some of the methods have been explained in detail below.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 91 using the prime factorization method.

In this method, we decompose the number into its prime factors.


Prime factorization of 91: 91=7×13.


Since not all prime factors can be paired, 91 cannot be simplified into a perfect square. Therefore, the square root of 91 cannot be expressed in a simple radical form.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Square root of 91 using the division method.

For non-perfect squares, we often use the nearest perfect square to estimate the square root. Follow these steps:


Step 1: Write the number 91 to perform long division.


Step 2: Identify a perfect square number that is less than or equal to 91. For 91, that number is 81 (92).


Step 3: Divide 91 by 9. The remainder will be 10, and the quotient will be 9.


Step 4: Bring down the remainder (10) and append two zeros. Add a decimal point to the quotient, making it 9.0.


Step 5: Double the quotient to use as the new divisor, which gives 18.


Step 6: Select a number that, when multiplied by the new divisor, results in a product less than or equal to 1800.


Step 7: Continue the division process to find √91 to the desired decimal places. → √91 ≈ 9.539.

Square root of 91 using the approximation method

In the approximation method, we estimate the square root by identifying the closest perfect squares surrounding the number.


Step 1: The nearest perfect squares to 91 are √100 = 10 and √81 = 9.


Step 2: Since 91 is between 100 and 81, we know the square root will be between 10 and 9.


Step 3: By testing numbers like 9.5, 9.6, and further, we find that √91 ≈ 9.539.

Problem 1

Find out if 64 is a perfect square.

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

→ √64


= 8
 

Explanation

64 is indeed a perfect square, as it is the result of multiplication between 8 and 8 itself.

Problem 2

How do you find the square root of a non-perfect square, such as √20.

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

→ √20


√20 = 2√5
 

Explanation

 20 can be factored as 5 × 4 and 4 can be further factorized to 2 hence the final answer would be 2√5.

Problem 3

Simplify 6√18 – 2√18.

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

→ Factor √18


6√18 – 2√18


= √18(6-2) 


= 4×4.243


= 16.972
 

Explanation

 Simplification of √18= 4.243, now if you subtract the 2 from 6 and multiply it by 4.243 we get 16.972.
