Square Root of 2336

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in fields such as vehicle design, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 2336.

What is the Square Root of 2336?

The square root is the inverse operation of squaring a number. 2336 is not a perfect square. The square root of 2336 is expressed in both radical and exponential form. In the radical form, it is expressed as √2336, whereas in exponential form it is expressed as (2336)^(1/2). √2336 ≈ 48.34, 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 2336

The prime factorization method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not suitable for non-perfect square numbers where the 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 2336 by Prime Factorization Method

The product of prime factors is the prime factorization of a number. Now let us look at how 2336 is broken down into its prime factors:

 

Step 1: Finding the prime factors of 2336 Breaking it down, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 73: 2^5 x 73

 

Step 2: Now we found out the prime factors of 2336. The second step is to make pairs of those prime factors. Since 2336 is not a perfect square, the digits of the number can’t be grouped in pairs completely.

 

Therefore, calculating the square root of 2336 using prime factorization is not straightforward.

Square Root of 2336 by Long Division Method

The long division method is particularly useful 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, group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 2336, group it as 23 and 36.

 

Step 2: Find n whose square is closest to 23 without exceeding it. We can say n is 4 because 4 x 4 = 16, which is less than or equal to 23. Now the quotient is 4, and after subtracting, the remainder is 7.

 

Step 3: Bring down 36, making the new dividend 736. Add the old divisor (4) with itself to get 8, which will be our new divisor base.

 

Step 4: The new divisor is 8n, where we need to find n such that 8n x n ≤ 736. Consider n as 9, where 89 x 9 = 801, which is too large, so try n = 8, 88 x 8 = 704.

 

Step 5: Subtract 704 from 736, the difference is 32, and the quotient is 48.

 

Step 6: Since the dividend (32) is less than the divisor (88), add a decimal point and two zeroes to the dividend, making it 3200.

 

Step 7: Find the new divisor, which is 481, because 481 x 6 = 2886, which is less than 3200.

 

Step 8: Subtract 2886 from 3200 to get 314.

 

Step 9: Continue these steps until you achieve the desired precision.

 

The square root of 2336 is approximately 48.34.

Square Root of 2336 by Approximation Method

The approximation method is another method for finding square roots. It's an easy method to find the square root of a given number. Now let us learn how to find the square root of 2336 using the approximation method.

 

Step 1: Find the closest perfect squares to √2336. The closest perfect square below 2336 is 2304 (48^2) and above 2336 is 2401 (49^2). Thus, √2336 falls between 48 and 49.

 

Step 2: Apply the formula (Given number - smaller perfect square) / (larger perfect square - smaller perfect square). Using the formula, (2336 - 2304) / (2401 - 2304) = 32 / 97 ≈ 0.33

 

Step 3: Add the decimal to the smaller perfect square root: 48 + 0.33 ≈ 48.33 So the square root of 2336 is approximately 48.33.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

It is important to remember that a number has both positive and negative square roots. However, we typically consider only the positive square root, as it is the most useful in real-world applications.

For example: √50 ≈ 7.07, but there is also -7.07 which should not be overlooked.

Problem 1

Can you help Max find the area of a square box if its side length is given as √2336?

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

The area of the square is approximately 2336 square units.

Explanation

The area of a square is calculated as side^2.

The side length is given as √2336.

Area of the square = (√2336)^2 = 2336.

Therefore, the area of the square box is approximately 2336 square units.

Problem 2

A square-shaped building measuring 2336 square feet is built; if each of the sides is √2336, what will be the square feet of half of the building?

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

1168 square feet

Explanation

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

Dividing 2336 by 2, we get 1168.

So half of the building measures 1168 square feet.

Problem 3

Calculate √2336 x 5.

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

Approximately 241.7

Explanation

First, find the square root of 2336, which is approximately 48.34.

Then multiply 48.34 by 5.

So 48.34 x 5 ≈ 241.7

Problem 4

What will be the square root of (2320 + 16)?

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

The square root is 48.

Explanation

To find the square root, first find the sum of (2320 + 16).

2320 + 16 = 2336, and then √2336 ≈ 48.34.

Therefore, the square root of (2320 + 16) is approximately 48.

Problem 5

Find the perimeter of the rectangle if its length ‘l’ is √2336 units and the width ‘w’ is 38 units.

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

The perimeter of the rectangle is approximately 172.68 units.

Explanation

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

Perimeter = 2 × (√2336 + 38) = 2 × (48.34 + 38) = 2 × 86.34 ≈ 172.68 units.
