Long Division Method
The square root of 216 by long division method consists of the following steps:
- Step 1: Starting from the right, we will pair up the digits 216 by putting a bar above 16 and 1 separately. We also pair the 0s in decimals in pairs of 2 from left to right.
- Step 2: Find a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives a product less than or equal to 2. This will be 1 obviously, so place 1 in the quotient and the divisors place which will result in the remainder being 1.
- Step 3: Drag down 16 beside the remainder 1. Also, add the divisor to itself and write it below.(1+1=2)
- Step 4: Find a number X such that 2X × X results in a number less than or equal to 116. The number 4 fits here so fill it next to 2 in the divisor as well as next to 1 in the quotient.
- Step 5: 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 becomes 28.
- Step 6: Repeat this process to get the decimal places you want.
Therefore, the square root of 216 = 14.697.
Prime Factorization
- For finding the square root of 216, we shall first express it in terms of its prime factors. 216 can be expressed as 216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3.
- This can be reduced further to 216 = 23 × 33
- Finally, to find the root of this from here it is very easy,
√216 = √(23 × 33) = 6√(2 × 3) = 6√6 = 14.697
Therefore, the Square Root of 216 ≅ 14.697.
