Square Root of 1006

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 fields like vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 1006.

What is the Square Root of 1006?

The square root is the inverse of the square of the number. 1006 is not a perfect square. The square root of 1006 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √1006, whereas (1006)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √1006 ≈ 31.722, 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.

Finding the Square Root of 1006

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

Square Root of 1006 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 1006 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 1006 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 503: 2^1 x 503^1

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 1006. Since 1006 is not a perfect square, therefore the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs.

 

Therefore, calculating 1006 using prime factorization is impossible.

Square Root of 1006 by Long Division Method

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 1006, we need to group it as 06 and 10.

 

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is closest to 10. We can say n as ‘3’ because 3 x 3 = 9 is lesser than or equal to 10. Now the quotient is 3, and after subtracting 9 from 10, the remainder is 1.

 

Step 3: Now let us bring down 06, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number: 3 + 3, we get 6, which will be our new divisor.

 

Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 6n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.

 

Step 5: The next step is finding 6n × n ≤ 106; let us consider n as 1, now 6 x 1 x 1 = 61.

 

Step 6: Subtract 106 from 61; the difference is 45, and the quotient is 31.

 

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 zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 4500.

 

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor, which is 317 because 317 x 7 = 2219.

 

Step 9: Subtracting 2219 from 4500, we get the result 2281.

 

Step 10: Now the quotient is 31.7

 

Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero.

 

So the square root of √1006 is approximately 31.72.

Square Root of 1006 by Approximation Method

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 1006 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √1006. The smallest perfect square before 1006 is 961 (31^2) and the largest perfect square after 1006 is 1024 (32^2). √1006 falls somewhere between 31 and 32.

 

Step 2: Now we need to apply the formula that is (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square) Going by the formula (1006 - 961) ÷ (1024 - 961) = 45 ÷ 63 ≈ 0.7143 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 31 + 0.7143 = 31.7143.

 

So the square root of 1006 is approximately 31.7143.

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 will be taking only the positive square root as it is the required one.

For example: √50 = 7.07, there is also -7.07 which should not be forgotten.

Square root of 1006 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 √1006?

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

The area of the square is approximately 1006 square units.

Explanation

The area of the square = side^2.

The side length is given as √1006.

Area of the square = side^2

= √1006 x √1006

≈ 31.722 x 31.722

≈ 1006.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 1006 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 1006 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √1006, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

503 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 1006 by 2 = we get 503.

So half of the building measures 503 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √1006 x 5.

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

Approximately 158.61

Explanation

The first step is to find the square root of 1006, which is approximately 31.722.

The second step is to multiply 31.722 by 5.

So 31.722 x 5 ≈ 158.61.

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (1000 + 6)?

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

The square root is approximately 31.72.

Explanation

To find the square root, we need to find the sum of (1000 + 6).

1000 + 6 = 1006, and then the square root of 1006 is approximately 31.72.

Therefore, the square root of (1000 + 6) is approximately ±31.72.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √1006 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 approximately 139.44 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√1006 + 38)

≈ 2 × (31.722 + 38)

≈ 2 × 69.722

≈ 139.44 units.
