<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 5880, we need to group it as 80 and 58.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 5880, we need to group it as 80 and 58.</p>
21
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now, we need to find n whose square is ≤ 58. We can say n = 7 because 7 x 7 = 49 is lesser than 58. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 7, and after subtracting 49 from 58, the<a>remainder</a>is 9.</p>

22
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, let us bring down 80, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number: 7 + 7 = 14, which will be our new divisor.</p>
21
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now, let us bring down 80, which is the new<a>dividend</a>. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number: 7 + 7 = 14, which will be our new divisor.</p>
23
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be 14n. We need to find the value of n such that 14n x n ≤ 980. Let us consider n as 6; now 146 x 6 = 876.</p>
22
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be 14n. We need to find the value of n such that 14n x n ≤ 980. Let us consider n as 6; now 146 x 6 = 876.</p>
24
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 876 from 980; the difference is 104, and the quotient is 76.</p>
23
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Subtract 876 from 980; the difference is 104, and the quotient is 76.</p>
25
<p><strong>Step 6:</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 zeros to the dividend. Now, the new dividend is 10400.</p>
24
<p><strong>Step 6:</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 zeros to the dividend. Now, the new dividend is 10400.</p>
26
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Now, we need to find the new divisor. Try n = 7; 1537 x 7 = 10759 (which is too large), so n = 6; 1536 x 6 = 9216.</p>
25
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Now, we need to find the new divisor. Try n = 7; 1537 x 7 = 10759 (which is too large), so n = 6; 1536 x 6 = 9216.</p>
27
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Subtracting 9216 from 10400, we get the result 1184.</p>
26
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong>Subtracting 9216 from 10400, we get the result 1184.</p>

<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Now the quotient is 76.6</p>
27
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Now the quotient is 76.6</p>

<p><strong>Step 10:</strong>Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there is no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Now, we have to find the closest perfect square of √5880.</p>
34
<p>The smallest perfect square less than 5880 is 5776, and the largest perfect square<a>greater than</a>5880 is 5929. √5880 falls somewhere between 76 and 77.</p>

<p>The smallest perfect square less than 5880 is 5776, and the largest perfect square<a>greater than</a>5880 is 5929. √5880 falls somewhere between 76 and 77.</p>
35
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now, we need to apply the<a>formula</a>: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square) Going by the formula (5880 - 5776) / (5929 - 5776) = 0.65</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now, we need to apply the<a>formula</a>: (Given number - smallest perfect square) / (Greater perfect square - smallest perfect square) Going by the formula (5880 - 5776) / (5929 - 5776) = 0.65</p>
36
<p>Using the formula, we identified the<a>decimal</a>point of our square root. The next step is adding the value we got initially to the decimal number, which is 76 + 0.65 = 76.65.</p>
