How to Find Square Root of 968?

Square Root of 968 by Long Division Method

Value of √968 by Long Division Method

Explanation:

Forming pairs: 09 and 68
Find a number Y (3) such that whose square is <= 9. Now divide 09 by 3 with quotient as 3.
Bring down the next pair 68, to the right of the remainder 0. The new dividend is now 68.
Add the last digit of the quotient (3) to the divisor (3) i.e. 3 + 3 = 6. To the right of 6, find a digit Z (which is 1) such that 6Z × Z <= 68. After finding Z, together 6 and Z (1) form a new divisor 61 for the new dividend 68.
Divide 68 by 61 with the quotient as 1, giving the remainder = 68 - 61 × 1 = 68 - 61 = 7.
Now, let's find the decimal places after the quotient 31.
Bring down 00 to the right of this remainder 7. The new dividend is now 700.
Add the last digit of quotient to divisor i.e. 1 + 61 = 62. To the right of 62, find a digit Z (which is 1) such that 62Z × Z <= 700. Together they form a new divisor (621) for the new dividend (700).
Divide 700 by 621 with the quotient as 1, giving the remainder = 700 - 621 × 1 = 700 - 621 = 79.
Bring down 00 again. Repeat above steps for finding more decimal places for the square root of 968.

Therefore, the square root of 968 by long division method is 31.1 approx.

Square Root of 968 Solved Examples

Example 1: Solve the equation x² − 968 = 0

Solution:

x² - 968 = 0 i.e. x² = 968
x = ±√968
Since the value of the square root of 968 is 31.113,
⇒ x = +√968 or -√968 = 31.113 or -31.113.
Example 2: If the surface area of a sphere is 3872π in². Find the radius of the sphere.

Solution:

Let 'r' be the radius of the sphere.
⇒ Area of the sphere = 4πr² = 3872π in²
⇒ r = ±√968 in
Since radius can't be negative,
⇒ r = √968
The square root of 968 is 31.113.
⇒ r = 31.113 in
Example 3: If the area of a square is 968 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 = 968 in²
⇒ a = ±√968 in
Since length can't be negative,
⇒ a = √968 = 31.113 in
