<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 1641, we need to group it as 41 and 16.</p>
3
+
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is ≤16. We can say n is 4 because 4 x 4 = 16, which is equal to 16. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 4 after subtracting 16 - 16; the<a>remainder</a>is 0.</p>
4
+
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 41, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number 4 + 4, we get 8, which will be our new divisor.</p>
5
+
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 8n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.</p>
6
+
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 8n × n ≤ 41. Let us consider n as 5. Now, 8 x 5 = 40, which is less than or equal to 41.</p>
7
+
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 41 from 40; the difference is 1, and the quotient is 45.</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 100.</p>
9
+
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Now we need to find the new divisor that is 90 (since 450 + 5 = 455, and 455 x 0.5 = 100).</p>
10
+
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtracting 100 from 100, we get the result 0.</p>
11
+
<p><strong>Step 10:</strong>Now the quotient is 40.5.</p>
12
+
<p><strong>Step 11:</strong>Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there is no decimal value, continue till the remainder is zero.</p>

<p>So the square root of √1641 is approximately 40.505.</p>
