<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 201, we need to group it as 01 and 2.</p>

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

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 2n as the new divisor. We need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n × n ≤ 101. Let us consider n as 5, now 25 x 5 = 125, which is too large. So we try n as 4, and 24 x 4 = 96.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 101 from 96, the difference is 5, and the quotient is 14.</p>

<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 500.</p>
