hello welcome to we learn daily in this
0:03
lesson let's review how to calculate the
0:05
square root using long division we'll
0:07
find the square root of two accurate to
0:09
three decimal places let's
0:12
start first let's rewrite the square
0:15
root of two next we need to break the
0:18
number from which we're extracting the
0:20
square root into groups of two digits
0:22
each starting from the
0:24
right if the number has an odd number of
0:27
digits like in this case where the
0:30
number consists of one digit we add a
0:32
zero to the left of the number so we add
0:36
a zero before the two now we need to
0:39
extract the square root of the first
0:40
group which is the largest whole number
0:43
that doesn't exceed two the largest such
0:46
number is one so we write down one as
0:49
the whole number then Square this number
0:53
and write the result underneath the
0:55
group 1 squ is 1 so we subtract 1 from 2
1:00
giving us a remainder of one next draw a
1:03
division line and bring down the next
1:05
two digits which are zeros making the
1:08
remainder 100 since we've brought down
1:11
digits after the decimal point don't
1:14
forget to place a decimal point in the
1:16
quotient as well to continue double the
1:19
number we've written in the quotient so
1:21
far which is one this product is two
1:25
write two to the left of a blank space
1:28
under the line
1:30
now we need to find a digit to place in
1:33
the blank space so that when this new
1:35
two-digit number is multiplied by this
1:37
same digit the product is as close to
1:40
100 as possible without exceeding it
1:44
suppose we try five 5 * 25 is 125 which
1:49
exceeds 100 so it's too large let's try
1:52
four 4 * 24 gives us 96 Which is less
1:56
than 100 we write down four in the
1:59
quotient
2:00
now subtract 96 from 100 to get a
2:04
remainder of
2:05
four bring down the next two digits
2:08
which are zeros making the new number
2:11
400 next Double the current quotient
2:15
which is 14 and write it to the left of
2:18
a blank
2:19
space this product is 28 Now find the
2:24
next digit if we try one the product is
2:28
281
2:30
Which is less than
2:31
400 write down one in the quotient and
2:34
subtract 281 from 400 leaving a
2:38
remainder of 119 we now bring down the
2:41
next two digits and we continue the same
2:44
process we need to draw another division
2:46
line and multiply the current number
2:49
ignoring the decimal point we multiply
2:51
by two and get
2:53
282 we write down 282 and place a DOT
2:57
next to it then we place another another
3:00
dot under it and underline the
3:03
result now we need to choose a digit so
3:07
that when this number is multiplied by
3:09
The Chosen digit the product is as large
3:12
as possible without exceeding
3:14
11,900 we choose four and multiply it by
3:18
2,824 getting
3:21
11,296 we subtract and get a remainder
3:24
of four here we have a zero and since we
3:26
borrowed earlier we are left with six
3:29
the digit that replaces the dot will be
3:32
four since we need the result accurate
3:34
to the nearest thousandth we continue
3:36
dividing until we reach
3:38
10,000s so that we can round the result
3:41
later next we bring down two more digits
3:45
to zeros and multiply the entire current
3:48
number by two again we always multiply
3:51
by two the result is
3:54
2,828 we leave space for the dot again
3:56
and proceed to find the appropriate
3:58
digit let's try through
4:00
if we multiply by 3 the result exceeds
4:02
60,000 so let's try two we multiply 2x
4:07
28282 and get
4:09
5656 4 now that we've gone through this
4:12
process we can round the square root of
4:14
2 to the nearest thth the square root of
4:18
2 is approximately
4:20
1.414 but less than 1.
4:23
1415 therefore we can write the final
4:26
result as approximately 1
4:31
414 the problem is solved if you
4:34
understood the solution don't forget to
