<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. 228 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 228 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √228, whereas (228)^(1/2) in the exponential form. √228 ≈ 15.0997, which is an<a>irrational number</a>because it cannot be expressed in the form of p/q, where p and q are<a>integers</a>and q ≠ 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 228, we need to group it as 28 and 2.</p>

20
<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>

21
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 28, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number, 1 + 1, and we get 2, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 28, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number, 1 + 1, and we get 2, which will be our new divisor.</p>
22
<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>
21
<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>
23
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n x n ≤ 128. Let us consider n as 5; now 25 x 5 = 125.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n x n ≤ 128. Let us consider n as 5; now 25 x 5 = 125.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 128 from 125; the difference is 3, and the quotient is 15.</p>
23
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 128 from 125; the difference is 3, and the quotient is 15.</p>
25
<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 300.</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 300.</p>

<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Now we need to find the new divisor that is 150 because 1500 x 2 = 3000.</p>
25
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Now we need to find the new divisor that is 150 because 1500 x 2 = 3000.</p>
27
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtracting 3000 from 3000, we get the result 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtracting 3000 from 3000, we get the result 0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 10:</strong>Now the quotient is 15.0.</p>

<p><strong>Step 11:</strong>Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero. So the square root of √228 ≈ 15.10</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √228. The smallest perfect square<a>less than</a>228 is 225, and the largest perfect square more than 228 is 256. √228 falls somewhere between 15 and 16.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to apply the<a>formula</a>that is (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Going by the formula (228 - 225) ÷ (256 - 225) = 3/31 ≈ 0.0968 Using the formula, we identified the<a>decimal</a>point of our square root. The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number, which is 15 + 0.0968 ≈ 15.10, so the square root of 228 is approximately 15.10.</p>
