√b = b^½

√2929 = 2929^½

How to find the square root of 2929 by long division method
Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 2929 using the long division method with one decimal place accuracy. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 2929 by hand before modern technology was invented.

Step 1)
Set up 2929 in pairs of two digits from right to left and attach one set of 00 because we want one decimal:

Step 2)
Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 29 is 25, and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, put 5 on top and 25 at the bottom like this:

5
29	29	00
25

Step 3)
Calculate 29 minus 25 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

5
29	29	00
25
4	29

Step 4)
Double the number in green on top: 5 × 2 = 10. Then, use 10 and the bottom number to make this problem:

10? × ? ≤ 429

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 4. Replace the question marks in the problem with 4 to get:

104 × 4 = 416.

Now, enter 4 on top, and 416 at the bottom:

5	4
29	29	00
25
4	29
4	16

Step 5)
Calculate 429 minus 416 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

5	4
29	29	00
25
4	29
4	16
0	13	00

Step 6)
Double the number in green on top: 54 × 2 = 108. Then, use 108 and the bottom number to make this problem:

108? × ? ≤ 1300

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 1. Now, enter 1 on top:

5	4	1
29	29	00
25
4	29
4	16
0	13	00

That's it! The answer is on top. The square root of 2929 with one digit decimal accuracy is 54.1. 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.
