Square Root of 145

The square root of 145 is the inverse of the mathematical operation of the square of the number whose square is 145. The number 145 has two distinct prime factors 5 and 29. We will now calculate the value of the square root of 145 using the long division method and the approximation method. Also, we will look at some interesting problems and facts.

• Square root of 145: 12.0415
• Square of 145: 21025

• The square root of 145 in decimal form is 12.0415
• The square root of 145 is represented as √145 in radical form.
• The square root of 145 is represented as (145)^1/2 in exponential form.

The square root of 145 is a non-terminating and non-repeating number.
Hence, it cannot be represented in the form of p/q where q ≠ 0.
Therefore, the square root of 145 is an irrational number.

We will now find the square root of 145 using the methods given below:

Square Root of 145 Using Approximation Method

• First, we will find the two consecutive numbers such that 145 lies between their perfect squares.
  In this case, the numbers are 12 (144) and 13 (169).
  So, the whole number part of the square root of 145 is 12.
• Now, for the decimal part we will use the below formula:
  (Given number - Smaller perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smaller perfect square) 
  = (145 - 144)/(169 - 144) = 1/25 = 0.04
• Hence, the approx. value of the square root of 145 by the approximation method is 12.04

Square Root of 145 by Long Division

Now we will calculate the square root of 145 by the long division method.

• Start pairing the digits from the right side of the number 145 by putting a bar on top of them. Here we will have two pairs, 45 and 1 (pairing from right).
• Now, find a number (a) whose square is ≤ 1. The value of a will be 1 as 1 × 1 = 1≤ 1.
• We get the quotient (1). Now, we will add the divisor a with itself and get the new divisor 2a (2).
• Drag the next pair down (new dividend becomes 045) and find a number (A) such that 2A × A ≤ 45. In this case, the value of A will be 2. 
• Now, put a decimal in the dividend (145) after 5 and quotient (12) after 2 simultaneously. Also, add 3 pairs of zero in the dividend after the decimal (145. 00 00 00) and repeat the above step for the remaining three pairs of zero.

So, we get the value of the square root of √145 = 12.041 by the long division method.
