The long division 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 square root using the long division method, step by step.

Step 1: To begin with, we need to group the numbers from right to left. In the case of 2222, we need to group it as 22 and 22.

Step 2: Now we need to find n whose square is less than or equal to 22. We can say n is ‘4’ because 4 x 4 = 16 is lesser than or equal to 22. Now the quotient is 4, after subtracting 16 from 22, the remainder is 6.

Step 3: Now let us bring down 22, which is the new dividend. Add the old divisor with the same number 4 + 4 = 8, which will be our new divisor.

Step 4: The new divisor will be the sum of the dividend and quotient. Now we get 8n as the new divisor, and we need to find the value of n.

Step 5: The next step is finding 8n x n ≤ 622. Let us consider n as 7, now 87 x 7 = 609.

Step 6: Subtract 609 from 622, the difference is 13, and the quotient is 47.

Step 7: 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 1300.

Step 8: Now we need to find the new divisor, which is 471 because 471 x 2 = 942.

Step 9: Subtracting 942 from 1300, we get the result 358.

Step 10: Now the quotient is 47.1.

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

So the square root of √2222 ≈ 47.13.
