What Is the Square Root of 112?
The square root of a number n is written as √n. This number when squared or multiplied by itself results in the original number n. The square root of 112 can be written in multiple ways.
- Radical form: √112 = 4√7
- Decimal form: 10.583
- Exponent form: (112)1/2
Is Square Root of 112 Rational or Irrational?
- 112 is a number that is not a perfect square, meaning it does not have a natural number as its square root.
- Also, its square root cannot be expressed as a fraction of the form p/q which tells us that the square root of 112 is an irrational number.
How to Find the Square Root of 112?

Long Division Method
The square root of 112 by long division method consists of the following steps:
- Step 1: Starting from the right, we will pair up the digits of 112 by putting a bar above 12 and 1 separately. We also pair the 0s in decimals in pairs of 2 from left to right.
- Step 2: Find a number which, when multiplied by itself, gives a product less than or equal to 1. This will be 1 here, so place 1 in the quotient and in the divisor's place which will result in the remainder being 0.
- Step 3: Drag down 12 beside the remainder 0. Also, add the divisor to itself and write it below. (1+1=2)
- Step 3: Find a number X such that 2X × X results in a number less than or equal to 12. The number 0 fits here so fill it next to 2 in the divisor as well as next to 1 in the quotient.
- Step 4: Find the remainder and now drag down the pair of 0s from the decimal part of the number. Adding X to the divisor, the new divisor remains 20.
- Step 5: Repeat this process to get the decimal places you want.
Therefore, the square root of 112 = 10.583
Prime Factorization
- To find the square root of 112, we shall first express it in terms of its prime factors.
112 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 - Next, this can be reduced further to
112 = 24 × 7 - Finally, to find the root of this from here is very easy,
√112 = √(24 × 7)
√112 = 4√7 = 10.583
Therefore, the square root of 112 = 10.583
