How to Find Square Root of 156?

Square Root of 156 by Long Division Method

Value of √156 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 01 and 56
Find a number Y (1) such that whose square is <= 1. Now divide 01 by 1 with quotient as 1.
Bring down the next pair 56, to the right of the remainder 0. The new dividend is now 56.
Add the last digit of the quotient (1) to the divisor (1) i.e. 1 + 1 = 2. To the right of 2, find a digit Z (which is 2) such that 2Z × Z <= 56. After finding Z, together 2 and Z (2) form a new divisor 22 for the new dividend 56.
Divide 56 by 22 with the quotient as 2, giving the remainder = 56 - 22 × 2 = 56 - 44 = 12.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 12.
Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 12. The new dividend is now 1200.
Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 2 + 22 = 24. To the right of 24, find a digit Z (which is 4) such that 24Z × Z <= 1200. Together they form a new divisor (244) for the new dividend (1200).
Divide 1200 by 244 with the quotient as 4, giving the remainder = 1200 - 244 × 4 = 1200 - 976 = 224.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 156.

Therefore, the square root of 156 by long division method is 12.4 approximately.

Square Root of 156 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 156 = 0

Solution:

x² - 156 = 0 i.e. x² = 156
x = ±√156
Since the value of the square root of 156 is 12.490,
⇒ x = +√156 or -√156 = 12.490 or -12.490.
Example 2: If the surface area of a cube is 936 in². Find the length of the side of the cube.

Solution:

Let 'a' be the length of the side of the cube.
⇒ Area of the cube = 6a² = 936 in²
⇒ a = ±√156 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √156
We know that the square root of 156 is 12.490.
⇒ a = 12.490 in
Example 3: If the surface area of a sphere is 624π in². Find the radius of the sphere.

Solution:

Let 'r' be the radius of the sphere.
⇒ Area of the sphere = 4πr² = 624π in²
⇒ r = ±√156 in
Since radius can't be negative,
⇒ r = √156
The square root of 156 is 12.490.
⇒ r = 12.490 in
