<p>The<a>long division</a>method is particularly used for non-perfect square numbers. In this method, we should check the closest perfect square number for the given number. Let us now learn how to find the<a>square root</a>using the long division method, step by step.</p>

<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 832, we need to group it as 32 and 8.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Now we need to find n whose square is 8. We can say n as ‘2’ because 2 × 2 is lesser than or equal to 8. Now the<a>quotient</a>is 2, and after subtracting 4 from 8, the<a>remainder</a>is 4.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Now let us bring down 32, which forms the new<a>dividend</a>, 432. Add the old<a>divisor</a>with the same number, 2 + 2, we get 4, which will be our new divisor.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 4n as the new divisor, and we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>The new divisor will be the<a>sum</a>of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 4n as the new divisor, and we need to find the value of n.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 4n × n ≤ 432. Let us consider n as 8; now, 48 × 8 = 384.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>The next step is finding 4n × n ≤ 432. Let us consider n as 8; now, 48 × 8 = 384.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 384 from 432, the difference is 48, and the quotient is 28.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6:</strong>Subtract 384 from 432, the difference is 48, and the quotient is 28.</p>

<p><strong>Step 7:</strong>Since the dividend is less than 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 4800.</p>

<p><strong>Step 9:</strong>Subtracting 289 from 4800, we get the result 4511.</p>

<p><strong>Step 11:</strong>Continue doing these steps until we get two numbers after the decimal point. Suppose if there are no decimal values, continue till the remainder is zero.</p>
