  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

  3. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    The square root of a positive integer is the product of the roots of its prime factors, because the square root of a product is the product of the square roots of the factors. Since p 2 k = p k , {\textstyle {\sqrt {p^{2k}}}=p^{k},} only roots of those primes having an odd power in the factorization are necessary.

  4. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    A square root of a number x is a number r which, when squared, becomes x: =. Every positive real number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. For example, the two square roots of 25 are 5 and −5. The positive square root is also known as the principal square root, and is denoted with a radical sign:

  5. Integer square root - Wikipedia

    /// Performs a Karatsuba square root on a `u64`. pub fn u64_isqrt (mut n: u64)-> u64 {if n <= u32:: MAX as u64 {// If `n` fits in a `u32`, let the `u32` function handle it. return u32_isqrt (n as u32) as u64;} else {// The normalization shift satisfies the Karatsuba square root // algorithm precondition "a₃ ≥ b/4" where a₃ is the most ...

  6. Radical symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_symbol

    The radical symbol refers to the principal value of the square root function called the principal square root, which is the positive one. The two square roots of a negative number are both imaginary numbers , and the square root symbol refers to the principal square root, the one with a positive imaginary part.

  7. Tonelli–Shanks algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonelli–Shanks_algorithm

    Tonelli–Shanks cannot be used for composite moduli: finding square roots modulo composite numbers is a computational problem equivalent to integer factorization. [ 1 ] An equivalent, but slightly more redundant version of this algorithm was developed by Alberto Tonelli [ 2 ] [ 3 ] in 1891.

  8. Sharp EL-5120 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_EL-5120

    The Sharp EL-5120 is a scientific programmable calculator. It has about 1 KB of total RAM available to the user, and has 4 basic operational modes: Real mode: it is the basic operational mode for directly performing standard algebraic and statistical calculations, as well as evaluating user-defined functions and numerically integrating them.

  9. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    It may be useful to be aware that the difference between two successive square numbers is the sum of their respective square roots. Hence, if one knows that 12 × 12 = 144 and wish to know 13 × 13, calculate 144 + 12 + 13 = 169.
