√ Square Root Calculator

ଏହି ଗଣନାକାରୀ ବିଷୟରେ

A square root calculator gives the principal (positive) square root of a number, plus its simplified radical form and whether the number is a perfect square. Enter any non-negative number to see both the decimal value and the exact radical.

The simplified radical is found by pulling the largest perfect-square factor outside the root sign. For √72, the largest perfect square dividing 72 is 36, so √72 = √(36 × 2) = 6√2 — an exact form, unlike the rounded decimal 8.485. When the number is itself a perfect square, such as 36, the root is a whole number (6) and the tool flags it as a perfect square.

Square roots appear in the Pythagorean theorem, the distance formula, standard deviation and quadratic equations. Note that every positive number has two square roots, one positive and one negative; this tool returns the principal positive root, and negative inputs have no real square root.
