    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 ...

    Uniformly scatter a given number of points over the square; Count the number of points inside the quadrant, i.e. having a distance from the origin of less than 1; The ratio of the inside-count and the total-sample-count is an estimate of the ratio of the two areas, ⁠ π / 4 ⁠. Multiply the result by 4 to estimate π.
