The long division 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 square root using the long division method, step by step.

Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 965, we need to group it as 65 and 9.

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is ≤9. We can say n is ‘3’ because 3 x 3 = 9, which is equal to 9. Now the quotient is 3, and the remainder is 0.

Step 3: Now let us bring down 65, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 3 + 3, we get 6, which will be our new divisor.

Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 6n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.

Step 5: The next step is finding 6n × n ≤ 65. Let us consider n as 1, now 6 x 1 x 1 = 6.

Step 6: Subtract 65 from 6, the difference is 59, and the quotient is 31.

Step 7: 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 5900.

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 62 because 621 ✖ 9 = 5589. Step 9: Subtracting 5589 from 5900, we get the result 311.

Step 10: Now the quotient is 31.0

Step 11: Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero.

So the square root of √965 ≈ 31.06
