1. Example-1





1. Find Square root of 64 using prime factorization method

Solution:
First find factors of 64
264
232
216
28
24
22
 1



`64=2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2`

`64=2^6`

Taking squareroot
`:. sqrt(64)=sqrt(2^6)`

`=2^3`

`=8`

`:.` 64 is a perfect square
2. Find Square root of 100 using prime factorization method

Solution:
First find factors of 100
2100
250
525
55
 1



`100=2 xx 2 xx 5 xx 5`

`100=2^2 * 5^2`

Taking squareroot
`:. sqrt(100)=sqrt(2^2 * 5^2)`

`=2 × 5`

`=10`

`:.` 100 is a perfect square
3. Find Square root of 900 using prime factorization method

Solution:
First find factors of 900
2900
2450
3225
375
525
55
 1


`900 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5`

`900 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 5^2`

`sqrt(900) = sqrt(2^2 * 3^2 * 5^2)` (Taking square root)

`= 2 × 3 × 5`

`= 30`
4. Find Square root of 4096 using prime factorization method

Solution:
First find factors of 4096
24096
22048
21024
2512
2256
2128
264
232

 1



`4096=2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 2`

`4096=2^12`

Taking squareroot
`:. sqrt(4096)=sqrt(2^12)`

`=2^6`

`=64`

`:.` 4096 is a perfect square
