A square root is a number when multiplied by itself gives the original number. The square of a number is represented as X² and the square root of a number is expressed as √x The square root of 104 is represented by √104 Square roots play a vital role in physics to determine the velocity of an object in free fall.

Square Root of 104 By Prime Factorization Method

To find the square root of 104 through the Prime Factorization method, there are various steps involved in the process:


Step 1: To find the square root of 104, first express it in its prime factors. 


Here, 104 = 2×2×2×13 


Step 2: Simplify the factors further 


104 = 23 × 13

 

Step 3: Apply root on both sides


√104 = √(2×13)


√104 = 2√26 


2√26 = 10.198

 

Therefore, the square root of √104 = 10.198

Square Root of 104 By Long division

Finding a square root of 104 by long division method consists of the following steps:


Step 1: Pair the digits by putting a bar above. Starting from the right, we will pair 04 and 1 separately. We will also pair the zeros in decimals in pairs of 2 from left to right.


Step 2: Find a number, when multiplied by itself, gives a product less than or equal to 1. Here it's 1, so place 1 in the quotient and the divisor place will result in the remainder 0.


Step 3: Bring down 4 beside the remainder 0, add the divisor to itself and write it below. 1+1=2  


Step 4: Find the remainder and bring down the pair of 0s from the decimal part of the number. Adding X to the divisor, the new divisor remains 20. 


Step 5: Repeat the process to get the decimal places you want 


Therefore, the √104 = 10.198

Square Root of 104 By Approximation

Steps to find the square root of 104 by approximation method are:


Step 1: First identify the perfect squares around 104. 


We know that 


102 = 100


112 = 121


So √104 is between 10 and 11. 


Step 2: Since 104 is closer to 100 than 121, we can start by estimating a bit above 10. Let us go with 10.2
10.2×10.2 = 104.04, which is close to 104.  

 

Step 3: To get a more precise value, we can continue with more decimal places
10.192 = 103.8361, it is slightly less than 104. 

 

Step 4: Try 10.20


10.202 = 104.04, which is very close to 104. 


Thus, the √104 is approximately 10.198
