3 <p>The square root of 28 is the inverse operation of squaring a value “y” such that when “y” is multiplied by itself → y ⤫ y, the result is 28. It contains both positive and a negative root, where the positive root is called the principal square root.</p>

4 <h2>What Is the Square Root of 28?</h2>

5 <p>The<a>square</a>root<a>of</a>28 is ±5.2915. The positive value, 5.2915 is the solution of the<a>equation</a>x2 = 28.</p>

6 <p>As defined, the square root is just the inverse of squaring a<a>number</a>, so, squaring 5.2915 will result in 28. The square root of 28 is expressed as √28 in radical form, where the ‘√’ sign is called the “radical” sign. In<a>exponential form</a>, it is written as (28)1/2 </p>

7 <h2>Finding the Square Root of 28</h2>

8 <p>We can find the<a>square root</a>of 28 through various methods. They are:</p>

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

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

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

12 </ul><h3>Square Root of 28 By Prime Factorization Method</h3>

13 <p>The<a>prime factorization</a>of 28 involves breaking down a number into its<a>factors</a>. Divide 28 by<a>prime numbers</a>, and continue to divide the quotients until they can’t be separated anymore.</p>

14 <p>After factoring 28, make pairs out of the factors to get the square root. If there exists numbers which cannot be made pairs further, we place those numbers with a “radical” sign along with the obtained pairs.</p>

15 <p>So, Prime factorization of 28 = 2 × 2 × 7 </p>

16 <p>But for 28, a pair of factor 2 can be obtained and a single 7 is remaining</p>

17 <p>So, it can be expressed as √28 = √7 × √(2 × 2) = 2√7</p>

18 <p> 2√7 is the simplest radical form of √28</p>

26 <p><strong>Step 3 :</strong>Now divide 28 by 5 (the number we got from Step 2) such that we get 5 as quotient, and we get a remainder. Double the divisor 5, we get 10 and then the largest possible number A1=2 is chosen such that when 2 is written beside the new divisor, 10, a 3-digit number is formed →102 and multiplying 2 with 102 gives 204 which is less than 300.</p>
