4). Square root of a number is a value
that, when multiplied by itself, gives the
given number.
Example :-
36 has two square roots 6 and -6;
6
2
= 36 and 6
2
= 36, hence we write -
36 = ±6
5). Square root by Factorization method
Find square root of 1089
First ?nd the factors of 1089.
1089 = 3 3 11 11 × × ×
1089 = 3 × 11 = 33
6). Square root by Division method

12). If any number ends with 1, its square
root will end with 1 or, 9, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example :- , 81 = 9 121 = 11
13). If any number ends with 4, its square
root will end with 2 or 8, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 324 = 18 144 = 12
14). If any number ends with 5, its square
root will end with 5, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 225 = 15 625 = 25
15). If any number ends with 6, its square
root will end with 6, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 256 = 16 676 = 26
16). If any number ends with 9, its square
root will end with 3 or 7, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 49 = 7 169 = 13
17). The square of any number always
ends with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or, 9 but will never
end with 2, 3, 7 or, 8.
18). If in a given number, the total
number of digits are n and if n is even,
the square root of that number will have

4). Square root of a number is a value
that, when multiplied by itself, gives the
given number.
Example :-
36 has two square roots 6 and -6;
6
2
= 36 and 6
2
= 36, hence we write -
36 = ±6
5). Square root by Factorization method
Find square root of 1089
First ?nd the factors of 1089.
1089 = 3 3 11 11 × × ×
1089 = 3 × 11 = 33
6). Square root by Division method
Find square root of 2304.
Note:- Make group of two digit from right

12). If any number ends with 1, its square
root will end with 1 or, 9, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example :- , 81 = 9 121 = 11
13). If any number ends with 4, its square
root will end with 2 or 8, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 324 = 18 144 = 12
14). If any number ends with 5, its square
root will end with 5, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 225 = 15 625 = 25
15). If any number ends with 6, its square
root will end with 6, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 256 = 16 676 = 26
16). If any number ends with 9, its square
root will end with 3 or 7, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 49 = 7 169 = 13
17). The square of any number always
ends with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or, 9 but will never
end with 2, 3, 7 or, 8.
18). If in a given number, the total
number of digits are n and if n is even,
the square root of that number will have

the result.
22). To ?nd the value of

x, such that the difference between the
factors is 1, then the smaller factor will
be the result.
Example: Find the value of
12 + 12 + 12 + …8
The factors of 12 with a difference of 1
are 4, 3. Here, 4 is the larger number.
Value will be 4. ?

4). Square root of a number is a value
that, when multiplied by itself, gives the
given number.
Example :-
36 has two square roots 6 and -6;
6
2
= 36 and 6
2
= 36, hence we write -
36 = ±6
5). Square root by Factorization method
Find square root of 1089
First ?nd the factors of 1089.
1089 = 3 3 11 11 × × ×
1089 = 3 × 11 = 33
6). Square root by Division method
Find square root of 2304.
Note:- Make group of two digit from right

12). If any number ends with 1, its square
root will end with 1 or, 9, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example :- , 81 = 9 121 = 11
13). If any number ends with 4, its square
root will end with 2 or 8, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 324 = 18 144 = 12
14). If any number ends with 5, its square
root will end with 5, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 225 = 15 625 = 25
15). If any number ends with 6, its square
root will end with 6, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 256 = 16 676 = 26
16). If any number ends with 9, its square
root will end with 3 or 7, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 49 = 7 169 = 13
17). The square of any number always
ends with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or, 9 but will never
end with 2, 3, 7 or, 8.
18). If in a given number, the total
number of digits are n and if n is even,
the square root of that number will have

the result.
22). To ?nd the value of

x, such that the difference between the
factors is 1, then the smaller factor will
be the result.
Example: Find the value of
12 + 12 + 12 + …8
The factors of 12 with a difference of 1
are 4, 3. Here, 4 is the larger number.
Value will be 4. ?

4). Square root of a number is a value
that, when multiplied by itself, gives the
given number.
Example :-
36 has two square roots 6 and -6;
6
2
= 36 and 6
2
= 36, hence we write -
36 = ±6
5). Square root by Factorization method
Find square root of 1089
First ?nd the factors of 1089.
1089 = 3 3 11 11 × × ×
1089 = 3 × 11 = 33
6). Square root by Division method
Find square root of 2304.
Note:- Make group of two digit from right
2304 = 48

12). If any number ends with 1, its square
root will end with 1 or, 9, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example :- , 81 = 9 121 = 11
13). If any number ends with 4, its square
root will end with 2 or 8, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 324 = 18 144 = 12
14). If any number ends with 5, its square
root will end with 5, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 225 = 15 625 = 25
15). If any number ends with 6, its square
root will end with 6, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 256 = 16 676 = 26
16). If any number ends with 9, its square
root will end with 3 or 7, given that the
number is a perfect square.
Example: , 49 = 7 169 = 13
17). The square of any number always
ends with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or, 9 but will never
end with 2, 3, 7 or, 8.
18). If in a given number, the total
number of digits are n and if n is even,
the square root of that number will have
digits and if is odd, then the number

factors is 1, then the larger factor will be
the result.
22). To ?nd the value of
, ?nd the factors of ?? - ?? - ?? - …8
x, such that the difference between the
factors is 1, then the smaller factor will
be the result.
Example: Find the value of
12 + 12 + 12 + …8
The factors of 12 with a difference of 1
are 4, 3. Here, 4 is the larger number.
Value will be 4. ?
Conventional method
Let 12 + 12 + 12 + …8 = ??

The factors of 30 with a difference of 1
are 5, 6. Here, 5 is the smaller number. ?
Value will be 5.
23). If any number is in form,

KEY POINTS
1). Conversion of complex arithmetic
expressions into simple ones is called
Simpli?cation.
2). VBODMAS Rule: Vinculum > Brackets
> Of > division > multiplication > addition
> subtraction
* First solve vinculum i.e. bar.
Eg: 7 - 5 - 4 ( ) =?
First solve 5 – 4 i.e. 1 then 7 -1 = 6.
* For brackets open ?rst small brackets

* For modulus e.g. |-3| we write
magnitude only not sign i.e. 3 in this
case.
