890
≈ 29.83/1
≈ 2983/100
≈ 29 83/100



What is the square root of 890 written with an exponent?
All square roots can be converted to a number (base) with a fractional exponent. The square root of 890 is no exception. Here is the rule and the answer to "the square root of 890 converted to a base with an exponent?":

b = b½

890 = 890½



How to find the square root of 890 by long division method
Here we will show you how to calculate the square root of 890 using the long division method with one decimal place accuracy. This is the lost art of how they calculated the square root of 890 by hand before modern technology was invented.

Step 1)
Set up 890 in pairs of two digits from right to left and attach one set of 00 because we want one decimal:

89000



Step 2)
Starting with the first set: the largest perfect square less than or equal to 8 is 4, and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, put 2 on top and 4 at the bottom like this:

2
89000
4



Step 3)
Calculate 8 minus 4 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

2
89000
4
490



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

4? × ? ≤ 490

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:

49 × 9 = 441.

Now, enter 9 on top, and 441 at the bottom:

29
89000
4
490
441



Step 5)
Calculate 490 minus 441 and put the difference below. Then move down the next set of numbers.

29
89000
4
490
441
04900



Step 6)
Double the number in green on top: 29 × 2 = 58. Then, use 58 and the bottom number to make this problem:

58? × ? ≤ 4900

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:

298
89000
4
490
441
04900

That's it! The answer is on top. The square root of 890 with one digit decimal accuracy is 29.8. 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.
