<p>This is a method used for obtaining the square root for non-<a>perfect squares</a>, mainly. It usually involves the division of the<a>dividend</a>by the<a>divisor</a>, getting a<a>quotient</a>and a<a>remainder</a>too sometimes.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Now choose a number such that when placed at the end of 2, a 2-digit number will be formed. Multiply that particular number by the resultant number to get a number less than 37. Here, that number is 1. </p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Subtract 37-21=16. Add a<a>decimal</a>point after the new quotient 11, again, bring down two zeroes and make 16 as 1600. Simultaneously add the unit’s place digit of 21, i.e., 1 with 21. We get here, 22. Apply Step 5 again and again until you reach 0. </p>

<p>We will show two places of precision here, and so, we are left with the remainder, 16384 (refer to the picture), after some iterations and keeping the division till here, at this point </p>
