<p>The<a>square</a>root is the inverse<a>of</a>the square of the<a>number</a>. 540 is not a<a>perfect square</a>. The square root of 540 is expressed in both radical and<a>exponential form</a>. In the radical form, it is expressed as √540, whereas (540)(1/2) in the exponential form. √540 ≈ 23.2379, 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 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 5. We can say n as ‘2’ because 2 x 2 is 4. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 2 after subtracting 5 - 4; the<a>remainder</a>is 1.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 40, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number, 2 + 2, we get 4, which will be our new divisor.</p>
