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 2592, we need to group it as 92 and 25.

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is close to 25. We can say n is ‘5’ because 5 x 5 = 25. Now the quotient is 5, and after subtracting 25 from 25, the remainder is 0.

Step 3: Now, let us bring down 92, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number, 5 + 5, to get 10, which will be our new divisor.

Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 10n as the new divisor, and we need to find the value of n.

Step 5: The next step is finding 10n x n ≤ 92. Let us consider n as 9; now, 10 x 9 = 90.

Step 6: Subtract 92 from 90; the difference is 2, and the quotient is 59.

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 200.

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 509 because 509 x 0 = 0

Step 9: Subtracting 0 from 200, we get the result 200.

Step 10: Since the dividend allows us to continue, we seek further decimal places.

Step 11: Continuing these steps, we find the square root of √2592 ≈ 50.91.
