b = b½

2481 = 2481½



How to find the square root of 2481 by long division method
Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 2481 using the long division method with one decimal place accuracy. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 2481 by hand before modern technology was invented.

Step 1)
Set up 2481 in pairs of two digits from right to left and attach one set of 00 because we want one decimal:

248100



Step 2)
Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 24 is 16, and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, put 4 on top and 16 at the bottom like this:

4
248100
16



Step 3)
Calculate 24 minus 16 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

4
248100
16
881



Step 4)
Double the number in green on top: 4 × 2 = 8. Then, use 8 and the bottom number to make this problem:

8? × ? ≤ 881

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 9. Replace the question marks in the problem with 9 to get:

89 × 9 = 801.

Now, enter 9 on top, and 801 at the bottom:

49
248100
16
881
801



Step 5)
Calculate 881 minus 801 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

49
248100
16
881
801
08000



Step 6)
Double the number in green on top: 49 × 2 = 98. Then, use 98 and the bottom number to make this problem:

98? × ? ≤ 8000

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 8. Now, enter 8 on top:

498
248100
16
881
801
08000

That's it! The answer is on top. The square root of 2481 with one digit decimal accuracy is 49.8. 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.
