Finding Square Roots Easily (Vedic Math)

Hello, Guys!!! I’m back with another post on Vedic Math that is going to keep you ~~glued~~ rooted to your spot 😆. This time I’m going to teach you how to calculate the square roots of perfect squares faster…

With a little practice, this method can let you calculate the roots in a matter of 5 seconds, whereas if you had used the traditional method, you would still be stuck with your question 😏

Things you need to know:-

Perfect square which has unit digit 1 will have square root with the last digit as 1 or 9

Perfect square which has unit digit 4 will have square root with the last digit as 2 or 8

Perfect square which has unit digit 5 will have square root with the last digit as 5

Perfect square which has unit digit 6 will have square root with the last digit as 4 or 6

Perfect square which has unit digit 9 will have square root with the last digit as 3 or 7

Perfect square which has unit digit 0 will have square root with the last digit as 0

And most importantly… you need to know this handy little trick for the method to work.

If you need to find the square of a number which ends with 5 you just write 25 at the end and multiply the remaining digits with its successor. Here are a couple of examples to help you understand better…

So, now that you know everything to make this trick work… here’s The Thing itself

Huh?! Someone called me???

I'm sorry for that interruption... So without further adieu,

Let us begin!!

For this post let’s try to find √5776

1) Firstly, consider the last 2 digits- 76, and find the last number of the square root referring above… in this case, 4 or 6

2) Next, consider the remaining digits, 57 and find a number whose square is nearest to 57 but not above it, 7 x 7 = 49, therefore 7 in this case.

3) So this number can have square root as either 76 or 74, to know which is the correct answer read further

4) Now we take the number between 76 and 74 i.e. 75 and find its square using the method given above -

75 x 75 = (7x8)25

= 5625

5) If the answer obtained in step 4 is greater than the number we want to find the root of, we take the greater option (6), if it is less than the original number, we take the lesser option (4)

6) As 5625 < 5776, therefore √5776 = 76

Voila! You get your answer

Some words of caution:-

· Only works on perfect squares.

· If the number ends in 5 or 0, then you don’t need to follow steps 3 – 6

Tired of your slow and inaccurate multiplication? Want to multiply faster? Here's something that might help you

All your reviews are highly appreciated, and I hope that you find this trick useful. Share this with your friends (it helps me a lot) and stay tuned for more on highschoolpedia.com . Any doubt would be cleared in the comments section below

See you later

Have a nice day!!! ☺

Anode Ray Experiment

→Anode ray experiment was conducted by E Goldstein. →These rays are also known as canal rays. →This experiment helped in the discovery of the proton. Apparatus Used A discharge tube was taken in which there were 2 electrodes i.e. Anode(+ve) and the cathode (-ve). The tube was filled with an inert gas. A perforated or porous cathode was used. A layer of zinc sulphide was placed at the back of the cathode. There was a vacuum pump in the tube. High voltage (5000v-10000v) was allowed to flow through the system. It was observed that when the gas was at 1atm(atmospheric pressure ) no change was seen in the tube. When the pressure was decreased inside the tube, a glow could be seen at the back side of the cathode.

High School Pedia

It is an initiative by some students to spread the light of knowledge to everyone and everywhere. It was started in the year 2015 and has grown rapidly in the past few months. By the means of this website, we try to provide information on every topic that we can reach up to. You can find different articles on this website. All these articles are written in simple language so that everyone can understand it and learn from it. We at High School Pedia believe in creative learning and this is the reason why we add our own edited graphical representations in every article. Once a very learned man said, “Knowledge increases by not keeping it to yourself but by sharing it with others”. And we follow the same motto “Share to Learn”. The team of High School Pedia tries its best to provide you with the best and original content. Unlike many other websites, High School Pedia is famous for its original and inspiring content.

Classification and Evolution

Classification The system of grouping animals on the basis of their similarities and differences is called classification.The branch of biology which deals with classification is known as Taxonomy(though its deals with nomenclature and identification of organisms too). Purpose of classification It makes the study of a wide variety of organisms easier. It helps in understanding the evolution organisms. It provides information about the origin and genetic relationship of the being. It supplies a vital information needed by all the branches of Biology. By studying a particular animal or plant or group, classification gives the general information about all the organisms of the group. Classification on the basic level is of 2 types: Artificial classification. Natural classification. Artificial Classification It was introduced by the early Greeks(Aristotle, Theophrastus) in the medieval times. In this animals are classified on the basis of their habitat. ...

Animal and Plant Cells

Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning ‘small room’. Cells are also known as building blocks of life. The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wa...

Important Mathematical Constants!

Important Mathematical Constants Mathematical constants are those numbers that are special and interesting because they come up in the various fields of mathematics like geometry, calculus etc. These mathematical constants are usually named after the person who discovered it and they are represented by a symbol that is usually picked up from the Greek alphabet. Mathematical constants are by definition very important. In this article we will take a look at certain mathematical constants that are more commonplace than others. 1. π (pi) or Archimedes constant (~3.14159): π is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This is probably the most popular mathematical constant. So π is the circumference of the circle whose diameter is 1 unit. You might have seen it popping up when calculating the area of a circle (πr 2 ) or the circumference of a circle (2πr). It has many uses throughout mathematics from calcula...

Permutation and Combination

Permutation and Combination Hey guys, I am back with one more interesting mathematics topic. And I am pretty sure that you guys would find it interesting too because many of you must have faced problems regarding these arrangements. Although if you were not able to solve them at that moment of time I am sure after completing this article you would solve the problem in minutes or even seconds. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE ?? Many people get confused between these two terms permutation and combination. They both have almost similar use but have a vast difference in their meaning. You may think that both of them mean arranging entities, then what is the difference ?? For making it easy we will take an example, lets say I have four friends : Arya, Bhavesh, Chirayu and Dhruv. So if I arrange them like Arya, Bhavesh, Chirayu and Dhruv or Dhruv, Chirayu, Bhavesh and Arya, it will make no difference in combinations but if you check them according to permutation they will be different. As ...
