3 <p>The square root of 169 is a value “y” such that when “y” is multiplied by itself → y ⤫ y, the result is 169. The number 169 has a unique non-negative square root, called the principal square root.</p>

4 <h2>What Is the Square Root of 169?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>square</a>root of 169 is ±13, where 13 is the positive solution of the<a>equation</a>x2 = 169. Finding the square root is just the inverse of squaring a<a>number</a>and hence, squaring 13 will result in 169. The square root of 169 is written as √169 in radical form, where the ‘√’ sign is called the “radical” sign. In<a>exponential form</a>, it is written as (169)1/2 </p>

6 <h2>Finding the Square Root of 169</h2>

7 <p>We can find the<a>square root</a>of 169 through various methods.They are:</p>

8 <ul><li>Prime factorization method</li>

9 </ul><ul><li>Long<a>division</a>method</li>

10 </ul><ul><li>Approximation/Estimation method </li>

11 </ul><h3>Square Root of 169 By Prime Factorization Method</h3>

12 <p>The<a>prime factorization</a>of 169 can be found by dividing the number by<a>prime numbers</a>and continuing to divide the quotients until they can’t be separated anymore, i.e., we first prime factorize 169 and then make pairs of two to get the square root.</p>

13 <p>So, Prime factorization of 169 = 13 × 13</p>

14 <p>Square root of 169= √[13 × 13] = 13</p>

20 <p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now, find the greatest number whose square is<a>less than</a>or equal to 1. Here, it is 1 because 12=1 < =1</p>

22 <p><strong>Step 3:</strong>now divide 169 by 1 (the number we got from Step 2) such that we get 1 as a quotient, and we get a remainder. Double the divisor 1, we get 2, and then the largest possible number A1=3 is chosen such that when 3 is written beside the new divisor 2, a 2-digit number is formed →23, and multiplying 3 with 23 gives 69, which when subtracted from 69, gives 0. Repeat this process until you reach the remainder of 0. </p>
