What Is the Square Root of 106?

Square root is just an inverse operation of square. The number whose square gives 106, is the square root of 106. The square root of 106 is represented as √106. 

Is the Square Root of 106 Rational or Irrational?

Square root of 106 cannot be written in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. The value of √106 is 10.295630140987.. Hence, √106 is not a rational number. 

Important Notes:

  • 106 lies between two perfect square numbers, 100 and 121. Hence, the square root of √106 lies between 10 and 11.
  • 106 is not a perfect square, hence, √106 is an irrational number.

How to Find the Square Root of 106?

There are different methods to find the square root of any number. Click here to know more about the different methods.

Simplified Radical Form of Square Root of 106

106 is a composite number obtained by the product of two prime numbers, 2 and 53. Hence, the simplified radical form of √106 is √106.

We can find the square root of 106 by the following two methods:

  • Prime Factorization Method
  • Long Division Method

Square Root of 106 by Prime Factorization 

106 can be factorized as a product of 2 and 53, which are prime numbers. Hence, √106 = √(2 × 53). 2 and 53 cannot be factorized any further. Thus, the square root of 106 is written as √106.

Square Root of 106 by Long Division

The value of square root of 106 by long division method consists of the following steps:

  • Step 1: First we pair the digits of 106 starting with a digit at one's place. Put a horizontal bar to indicate pairing.
  • Step 2: Now we find a number which on multiplication with itself gives a product of less than or equal to 1. As we know 1 × 1 = 1 = 1. 
  • Step 3: Now, we have to bring down 06 and multiply the quotient by 2. This give us 2. Hence, 2 is the starting digit of the new divisor.
  • Step 4: 0 is placed at one's place of new divisor because when 20 is multiplied by 0 we get 0. The obtained answer now is 20 and we bring down 00.
  • Step 5: The quotient is now 10 and it is multiplied by 2. This gives 20, which becomes the starting digit of the new divisor.
  • Step 6: 2 is placed at one's place of new divisor because on multiplying 202 by 2 we get 404. The answer now obtained is196 and we bring 00 down.
  • Step 7: Now the quotient is 102 when multiplied by 2 which gives 204, which will be the starting digit of the new divisor.
  • Step 8: 9 is placed at one's place of the divisor because on multiplying 2049 by 9 we get 18441. The answer obtained is 1159 and we bring 00 down.
  • Step 9: Now the quotient is 1029 when multiplied by 2 gives 2058, which will be the starting digit of the new divisor.
  • Step 10: 5 is placed at one's place of the divisor because on multiplying 20585 by 5, we will obtain 102925. The answer obtained is 12975 and we bring 00 down.

Square Root of 106 by Long Division

On repeating the above steps we will obtain value of square root of 106 as √106 = 10.295630140987..

Square Root of 106 Solved Examples

  1. Example 1: What is the length of diagonal for a square having length of each side as 106 units?

    Solution

    Given, Side of the square = 106 units 
    Using Pythagoras Theorem, we get
    Diagonal of a square = √2a
    Diagonal = √(2 × 106) = 14.56 units

  2. Example 2: What is the difference between lengths of radii of circles having areas 106π and 81π square inches?

    Solution

    The length of radius for circle having area 106π is: area = πr2 = 106π.
    Here, r = √106 = 10.29 inches
    The length of radius for circle having area 81π is, area = πr2 = 81π.
    Here, r = √81 = 9 inches

    Hence, the difference between lengths of radii of circles having areas 106π and 81π square inches is, (10.29 - 9) = 1.29 inches.
