<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 99.9, we need to first consider 99 and 0.9.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 99.9, we need to first consider 99 and 0.9.</p>
22
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 99. We can say n is ‘9’ because 9 x 9 = 81, which is less than 99. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 9; after subtracting 81 from 99, the<a>remainder</a>is 18.</p>

23
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 90, which is the new<a>dividend</a>(considering 0.9 as 90 for<a>decimal</a>adjustment). Add the old divisor with the same number 9 + 9, we get 18, which will be our new divisor.</p>

24
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>We now need to find a digit, say ‘m', such that 18m x m is less than or equal to 1890. After calculation, 189 x 9 = 1701.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>We now need to find a digit, say ‘m', such that 18m x m is less than or equal to 1890. After calculation, 189 x 9 = 1701.</p>
25
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 1701 from 1890; the difference is 189, and the quotient is 9.9</p>
24
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 1701 from 1890; the difference is 189, and the quotient is 9.9</p>
26
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Since the dividend is less than the divisor, we need to add another decimal point. Adding the decimal point allows us to add two zeroes to the dividend. Now the new dividend is 18900.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √99.9. The smallest perfect square less than 99.9 is 81, and the largest perfect square<a>greater than</a>99.9 is 100. √99.9 falls somewhere between 9 and 10.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Now we have to find the closest perfect square of √99.9. The smallest perfect square less than 99.9 is 81, and the largest perfect square<a>greater than</a>99.9 is 100. √99.9 falls somewhere between 9 and 10.</p>
31
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to apply the<a>formula</a>: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula: (99.9 - 81) / (100 - 81) = 18.9 / 19 = 0.994736842.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to apply the<a>formula</a>: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square). Using the formula: (99.9 - 81) / (100 - 81) = 18.9 / 19 = 0.994736842.</p>
32
<p>Adding this decimal to 9 (the integer part), we get 9 + 0.994736842 ≈ 9.994998749, so the square root of 99.9 is approximately 9.995.</p>
