Square Root 45 Value by Long Division Method

As, 45 is not a perfect square, we use long division method to find its square root. Long Division Method is the most suitable method to find the value of square root of non perfect square numbers. Follow the following steps to find the square root of 45 using the long division method:

Step 1: Write 45 as 45.000000. We will be using these zeroes for decimal division later on.

Step 2: Search for perfect square that is less than 45. In this case, it is 36.

Step 3: To obtain, 36 we will use 6 as divisor, hence, quotient at this point is 6 and remainder is 9.

Step 4: Put a decimal in the quotient and bring one pair of zeroes next to remainder 9 and add 6 in divisor

Step 5: Now we have 12 as new divisor and 900 as new dividend

Step 6: Now find a number for the unit place of divisor such that the same number can be placed in the quotient after the decimal and the resultant product of the divisor and the new number in quotient is smaller than or equal to the dividend. In this case, that number is 7 since 127 × 7 = 889 which is less than 900.

Step 7: Bring the next pair of zeroes down and repeat steps 4 and 5.

We calculate these values upto three decimal places to get an approximate value for square root of 45.

Is Square Root of 45 Rational or Irrational?

Root 45 is an Irrational Number. It is impossible to divide 45 into two such numbers such that there multiplication is exactly 45 so, square root of 45 approximately equal to 6.708, but in reality it is a non-terminating and non-recurring decimal number and thus, it is an irrational number.

√45 = 6.7082039325…

Square root of 45 is 6.7082039325 it is a number which when multiplied by itself results in 45. Root of 45 is written as √45 or (45)^1/2. Simplified radical form of the square root of 45 is √(45) = 3√5.
