√1446
≈ 38.03/1
≈ 3803/100
≈ 38 3/100
What is the square root of 1446 written with an exponent?
All square roots can be converted to a number (base) with a fractional exponent. The square root of 1446 is no exception. Here is the rule and the answer to "the square root of 1446 converted to a base with an exponent?":
√b = b½
√1446 = 1446½
How to find the square root of 1446 by long division method
Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 1446 using the long division method with one decimal place accuracy. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 1446 by hand before modern technology was invented.
Step 1)
Set up 1446 in pairs of two digits from right to left and attach one set of 00 because we want one decimal:
| 14 | 46 | 00 |
Step 2)
Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 14 is 9, and the square root of 9 is 3. Therefore, put 3 on top and 9 at the bottom like this:
| 3 | |||
| 14 | 46 | 00 | |
| 9 | |||
Step 3)
Calculate 14 minus 9 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.
| 3 | |||
| 14 | 46 | 00 | |
| 9 | |||
| 5 | 46 | ||
Step 4)
Double the number in green on top: 3 × 2 = 6. Then, use 6 and the bottom number to make this problem:
6? × ? ≤ 546
The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 8. Replace the question marks in the problem with 8 to get:
68 × 8 = 544.
Now, enter 8 on top, and 544 at the bottom:
| 3 | 8 | ||
| 14 | 46 | 00 | |
| 9 | |||
| 5 | 46 | ||
| 5 | 44 | ||
Step 5)
Calculate 546 minus 544 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.
| 3 | 8 | ||
| 14 | 46 | 00 | |
| 9 | |||
| 5 | 46 | ||
| 5 | 44 | ||
| 0 | 02 | 00 | |
Step 6)
Double the number in green on top: 38 × 2 = 76. Then, use 76 and the bottom number to make this problem:
76? × ? ≤ 200
The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 0. Now, enter 0 on top:
| 3 | 8 | 0 | |
| 14 | 46 | 00 | |
| 9 | |||
| 5 | 46 | ||
| 5 | 44 | ||
| 0 | 02 | 00 | |
That's it! The answer is on top. The square root of 1446 with one digit decimal accuracy is 38.0. Did you notice that the last two steps repeat the previous two steps. You can add decimals by simply adding more sets of 00 and repeating the last two steps over and over.
