Square Root Using Successive Subtraction of Odd Numbers
Square Root Using Successive Subtraction of Odd Numbers
This method can be used for small perfect squares say up to 250. The steps to be followed are as follows
Step I: Obtain the number whose square root is to be found.
Step II: Subtract the odd numbers 1,3,5,7,9,13,15,...successively from the given number.
Step III: If the given number is a perfect square, we will get zero at some stage. We stop at the point where we have got zero.
Step IV: The number of times we have performed subtraction will be the square root of the given number.
Illustration: Find the square root of 64 by successive subtraction of odd numbers.
Solution: Subtracting the odd numbers successively, we get
64 - 1 = 63
63 - 3 =60
60 - 5 = 55
55 - 7 = 48
48 - 9 = 39
39 - 11 = 28
28 - 13 = 15
15 - 15 = 0
Hence, we performed subtraction 8 times.
therefore,
Illustration: Find the square root of 25 by successive subtraction of odd numbers.
Solution: Subtracting the odd numbers successively, we get
25 - 1 =24
24 - 3 =21
21 - 5 =16
16 - 7 = 9
9 - 9 = 0
Hence, we performed subtraction 5 times.
therefore,

A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
