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 1053, we need to group it as 53 and 10.

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is 10. We can say n as ‘3’ because 3 × 3 is lesser than or equal to 10. Now the quotient is 3 after subtracting 9 from 10, the remainder is 1.

Step 3: Now let us bring down 53, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 3 + 3, we get 6, which will be our new divisor.

Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 6n as the new divisor, we need to find the value of n.

Step 5: The next step is finding 6n × n ≤ 153. Let us consider n as 2, now 6 × 2 × 2 = 144.

Step 6: Subtract 144 from 153, the difference is 9, and the quotient is 32.

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 900.

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor that is 649 because 649 × 1 = 649.

Step 9: Subtracting 649 from 900, we get the result 251.

Step 10: Now the quotient is 32.4.

Step 11: 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.

So the square root of √1053 is approximately 32.45.
