3 <p>If a number is multiplied by itself, the result is a square. The inverse of the square is a square root. The square root is used in various fields including engineering, finance, etc. Here, we will discuss the square root of 5/3.</p>

4 <h2>What is the Square Root of 5/3?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of a<a>number</a>. 5/3 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 5/3 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In radical form, it is expressed as √(5/3), whereas in exponential form it is expressed as (5/3)^(1/2). √(5/3) ≈ 1.29099, which is an<a>irrational number</a>because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are<a>integers</a>and q ≠ 0.</p>

6 <h2>Finding the Square Root of 5/3</h2>

7 <p>The<a>prime factorization</a>method is used for perfect square numbers. However, the prime factorization method is not used for non-perfect squares. Instead, methods such as the long-<a>division</a>method and approximation method are used. Let us now learn the following methods:</p>

8 <ul><li>Long division method</li>

9 <li>Approximation method</li>

10 </ul><h2>Square Root of 5/3 by Long Division Method</h2>

11 <p>The<a>long division</a>method is particularly used for non-perfect squares. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. Let us now learn how to find the<a>square root</a>using the long division method, step by step.</p>

12 <p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Convert 5/3 to a<a>decimal</a>: 5/3 ≈ 1.6667.</p>

13 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Group the digits of 1.6667 in pairs from the decimal point outward, adding zeros if necessary: 1.66 | 67.</p>

14 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Find the largest integer n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 1. The integer is 1 (since 1^2 = 1).</p>

15 <p><strong>Step 4:</strong>Subtract 1 from 1 to get the<a>remainder</a>0. Bring down the next pair of digits 66 to get 066.</p>

16 <p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Double the<a>quotient</a>obtained and use it as the new<a>divisor</a>'s base. The divisor becomes 20.</p>

17 <p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Determine the value of the next digit of the quotient (n) such that 20n × n ≤ 66. Here, n = 3, since 203 × 3 = 609.</p>

18 <p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Subtract 609 from 660 to get the remainder 51, and bring down the next pair of zeros to get 5100.</p>

19 <p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Continue these steps to get the decimal expansion of √(5/3).</p>

20 <p>So, √(5/3) ≈ 1.29099.</p>
