How to Find Square Root of 496?

Square Root of 496 by Long Division Method

Value of √496 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 04 and 96
Find a number Y (2) such that whose square is <= 4. Now divide 04 by 2 with quotient as 2.
Bring down the next pair 96, to the right of the remainder 0. The new dividend is now 96.
Add the last digit of the quotient (2) to the divisor (2) i.e. 2 + 2 = 4. To the right of 4, find a digit Z (which is 2) such that 4Z × Z <= 96. After finding Z, together 4 and Z (2) form a new divisor 42 for the new dividend 96.
Divide 96 by 42 with the quotient as 2, giving the remainder = 96 - 42 × 2 = 96 - 84 = 12.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 22.
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 + 42 = 44. To the right of 44, find a digit Z (which is 2) such that 44Z × Z <= 1200. Together they form a new divisor (442) for the new dividend (1200).
Divide 1200 by 442 with the quotient as 2, giving the remainder = 1200 - 442 × 2 = 1200 - 884 = 316.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 496.

Therefore, the square root of 496 by long division method is 22.2 approx.

Square Root of 496 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 496 = 0

Solution:

x² - 496 = 0 i.e. x² = 496
x = ±√496
Since the value of the square root of 496 is 22.271,
⇒ x = +√496 or -√496 = 22.271 or -22.271.
Example 2: If the area of a square is 496 in². Find the length of the side of the square.

Solution:

Let 'a' be the length of the side of the square.
⇒ Area of the square = a² = 496 in²
⇒ a = ±√496 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √496 = 22.271 in
Example 3: If the area of an equilateral triangle is 496√3 in². Find the length of one of the sides of the triangle.

Solution:

Let 'a' be the length of one of the sides of the equilateral triangle.
⇒ Area of the equilateral triangle = (√3/4)a² = 496√3 in²
⇒ a = ±√1984 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √1984 = 2 √496
We know that the square root of 496 is 22.271.
⇒ a = 44.542 in
