<p>The<a>long division</a>method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. 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>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 559, we need to group it as 59 and 5.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is 5. We can say n as ‘2’ because 2 x 2 is<a>less than</a>or equal to 5. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 2; after subtracting 4 from 5, the<a>remainder</a>is 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 59, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number: 2 + 2 = 4, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 4n as the new divisor; we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 4n x n ≤ 159. Let us consider n as 3; now 43 x 3 = 129.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 4n x n ≤ 159. Let us consider n as 3; now 43 x 3 = 129.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 129 from 159; the difference is 30, and the quotient is 23.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 129 from 159; the difference is 30, and the quotient is 23.</p>
8
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add a decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 3000.</p>

<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Now we need to find the new divisor that is 7 because 473 x 7 = 3311. Step 9: Subtracting 3311 from 3000, we get the result -311.</p>
