Square Root of 39

Here we will define, analyze, simplify, and calculate the square root of 39. We start off with the definition and then answer some common questions about the square root of 39. Then, we will show you different ways of calculating the square root of 39 with and without a computer or calculator. We have a lot of information to share, so let's get started!



Square root of 39 definition
The square root of 39 in mathematical form is written with the radical sign like this √39. We call this the square root of 39 in radical form. The square root of 39 is a quantity (q) that when multiplied by itself will equal 39.

39 = q × q = q2



Is 39 a perfect square?
39 is a perfect square if the square root of 39 equals a whole number. As we have calculated further down on this page, the square root of 39 is not a whole number.

39 is not a perfect square.



Is the square root of 39 rational or irrational?
The square root of 39 is a rational number if 39 is a perfect square. It is an irrational number if it is not a perfect square. Since 39 is not a perfect square, it is an irrational number. This means that the answer to "the square root of 39?" will have an infinite number of decimals. The decimals will not terminate and you cannot make it into an exact fraction.

39 is an irrational number



Can the square root of 39 be simplified?
You can simplify 39 if you can make 39 inside the radical smaller. We call this process "to simplify a surd". The square root of 39 cannot be simplified.

39 is already in its simplest radical form.



How to calculate the square root of 39 with a calculator
The easiest and most boring way to calculate the square root of 39 is to use your calculator! Simply type in 39 followed by √x to get the answer. We did that with our calculator and got the following answer with 9 decimal numbers:

39 ≈ 6.244997998




How to calculate the square root of 39 with a computer
If you are using a computer that has Excel or Numbers, then you can enter SQRT(39) in a cell to get the square root of 39. Below is the result we got with 13 decimals. We call this the square root of 39 in decimal form.

SQRT(39) ≈ 6.2449979983984



What is the square root of 39 rounded?
The square root of 39 rounded to the nearest tenth, means that you want one digit after the decimal point. The square root of 39 rounded to the nearest hundredth, means that you want two digits after the decimal point. The square root of 39 rounded to the nearest thousandth, means that you want three digits after the decimal point.

10th: √39 ≈ 6.2

100th: √39 ≈ 6.24

1000th: √39 ≈ 6.245



What is the square root of 39 as a fraction?
Like we said above, since the square root of 39 is an irrational number, we cannot make it into an exact fraction. However, we can make it into an approximate fraction using the square root of 39 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

39
≈ 6.24/1
≈ 624/100
≈ 6 6/25



What is the square root of 39 written with an exponent?
All square roots can be converted to a number (base) with a fractional exponent. The square root of 39 is no exception. Here is the rule and the answer to "the square root of 39 converted to a base with an exponent?":

b = b½

39 = 39½



How to find the square root of 39 by long division method
Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 39 using the long division method with one decimal place accuracy. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 39 by hand before modern technology was invented.

Step 1)
Set up 39 in pairs of two digits from right to left and attach one set of 00 because we want one decimal:

3900



Step 2)
Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 39 is 36, and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, put 6 on top and 36 at the bottom like this:

6
3900
36



Step 3)
Calculate 39 minus 36 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

6
3900
36
300



Step 4)
Double the number in green on top: 6 × 2 = 12. Then, use 12 and the bottom number to make this problem:

12? × ? ≤ 300

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 2. Now, enter 2 on top:

62
3900
36
300

That's it! The answer is on top. The square root of 39 with one digit decimal accuracy is 6.2.
