Notes
Step-by-step Breakdown
1. Find the square root of 27 (first pair)
-
Closest square less than 27: 52=255^2 = 2552=25
-
So, write 5 as the first digit of the square root.
-
Subtract: 27−25=227 - 25 = 227−25=2
Now bring down next pair → 35
Now we have: 235235235
2. Double the current quotient (5) → 10
-
Write 102 | 2.35 (that "102" comes from 10 + _; we are finding that _ digit)
-
Try: 102 × 2 = 204
-
Subtract: 235−204=31235 - 204 = 31235−204=31
Bring down next pair: 29
Now we have: 3129
3. Current root is 5.2, double it: 10.4
-
Use it to find the next digit:
-
Try: 1043 × 3 = 3129
-
Perfect match!
-
-
Subtract: 3129−3129=03129 - 3129 = 03129−3129=0
Now there’s nothing left — remainder is 0.
