<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 364, we need to group it as 64 and 3.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is 3. We can say n is ‘1’ because 1 × 1 is lesser than or equal to 3. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 1, and after subtracting 1 from 3, the<a>remainder</a>is 2.</p>

<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>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 2n × n ≤ 264. Let us consider n as 9, now 29 × 9 = 261.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 261 from 264; the difference is 3, and the quotient is 19.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is<a>less than</a>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>
