How to Find Square Root of 5

The steps for determining the value of root 5 are as follows

 5.00000000 is a mathematical notation for the number five.  5 = 5.00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Step 1

Choose a number with a square less than five. As a result, four is the perfect square of two and is less than five.

Step 2

Write 2 in both the divisor and quotient.  Two multiplied by two equals four. If you subtract four from five, you'll get one.

Step 3

Step 4

In the quotient, carry down two zeros, write after 1, and take the decimal point after 1.

Step 5

To make it four, add two to the divisor.  Take a number adjacent to 4 that, when multiplied with the same number, yields a result that is less than or equal to 100. 

As a result, we'll choose 2 such that 42 multiplied by 2 is 84, which is less than 100. To get the remaining, multiply it by 100. As a result, the remainder is 16.

Write down two zeros again and repeat step 5 till four decimal places.

Step 6

Step 7

Finally, the quotient value comes out to be 2.2360, which is about equal to 1.236.
