<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to pair up the digits from right to left. In the case of 46.1, we consider 46 and 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to pair up the digits from right to left. In the case of 46.1, we consider 46 and 10.</p>
19
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is closest to 46. We can say n is 6 because 6 × 6 = 36, which is<a>less than</a>46. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 6, and after subtracting 36 from 46, the<a>remainder</a>is 10.</p>

20
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 10, making the new<a>dividend</a>1010. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number: 6 + 6 = 12, making it our new divisor.</p>

21
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor, 12n, is adjusted to find n such that 12n × n ≤ 1010. Let us consider n as 8, as 128 × 8 = 1024, which exceeds 1010. So, n should be 7, making 127 × 7 = 889.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √46.1. The smallest perfect square below 46.1 is 36 (6^2) and the largest perfect square above 46.1 is 49 (7^2). Therefore, √46.1 is between 6 and 7.</p>

<p>Using the formula: (46.1 - 36) / (49 - 36) = 10.1 / 13 = 0.7769 Adding this to the lower bound, we get 6 + 0.7769 ≈ 6.777.</p>
