How To Find Square Root Without Calculator?

Estimate the nearest perfect squares around the number

Identify which two perfect squares the number lies between

Use a rough approximation based on closeness to those squares

Apply the long division square root method

Pair digits from right to left before starting

Find the largest square less than or equal to the leftmost pair

Subtract and bring down the next pair

Double the current root and use it as the divisor guide

Choose the next digit so the product stays within the remainder

Repeat until the desired accuracy is reached

Use the average method by comparing with nearby squares

Refine the estimate by checking the square of your guess

Adjust the guess upward if the square is too small

Adjust the guess downward if the square is too large
