How to find the square root of 5929 by long division method
Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 5929 using the long division method. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 5929 by hand before modern technology was invented.

Step 1)
Set up 5929 in pairs of two digits from right to left:

Step 2)
Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 59 is 49, and the square root of 49 is 7. Therefore, put 7 on top and 49 at the bottom like this:

7
59	29
49

Step 3)
Calculate 59 minus 49 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

7
59	29
49
10	29

Step 4)
Double the number in green on top: 7 × 2 = 14. Then, use 14 and the bottom number to make this problem:

14? × ? ≤ 1029

The question marks are "blank" and the same "blank". With trial and error, we found the largest number "blank" can be is 7. Replace the question marks in the problem with 7 to get:

147 × 7 = 1029.

Now, enter 7 on top, and 1029 at the bottom:

7	7
59	29
49
10	29
10	29

The difference between the bottom two numbers is zero, therefore, you are done! The answer is the green numbers on top. Once again, the square root of 5929 is 77.
