Square root is simply a number value that when multiplied with itself gives the original number. We apply square roots when we make financial estimations and solve practical problems in geometry.

What is the square root of 3600?

The square root is the number that gives the original number when squared. 


√3600 = 60, in exponential form it is written as√3600 = 36001/2=60. 


In this article we will learn more about the square root of 3600, how to find it and common mistakes one may make when trying to find the square root. 
 

Finding the square root of 3600

To find the square root of a number of students learn many methods. When a number is a perfect square and the process of finding the square root is simple. 
 

Prime factorization method

Step 1: prime factorize 


3600 = 24×32×52


Step 2: group the factors 


√3600 = √(24×32×52)

Division method

Step 1: Pair 3600 as shown 


3600 → (36)(00) 


Step 2: pick a number whose square is ≤ 36, 62=36 


— 6 is quotient. 


— Subtract the numbers, 36-36=0. 


— numbers 00 are to be brought down next to the remainder. 


Step 3: double quotient, use it as new divisor’s first digit


— Double 6.


— Now find the digit x in a way that 12x×x = 00 


— x is 0, 120×0 = 0.


Step 4: find the final quotient 


— The quotient is 60, the square root of √3600


The result; √3600 = 60
 

Repeated subtraction method

Step 1: Start subtraction of consecutive odd numbers starting from 1 from 3600.


Step 2: Maintain a count of the number of the subtractions performed


3600-1= 3599


3599-3 =3596


3596-5=3591


3591-7=3584


Step 3: Continue the subtraction until the remainder is 0.


After performing 60 subtractions, the remainder is 0. The square root of the number is 60. 


The result; √3600 = 60
