Square Root Calculator: Instantly Find the Square Root of Any Number
En Square Root Calculator quickly determines the square root of any non-negative number. Whether you’re solving homework problems, verifying equations, or double-checking calculations, this tool returns accurate results in seconds.
1) What the Calculator Does
This calculator finds the square root of a value — the number that, when multiplied by itself, equals the original. Example: the square root of 64 is 8, since 8 × 8 = 64.
2) Entradas
| Entrada | Descripción |
|---|---|
| Número | The non-negative value for which you want to compute the square root. Example: entering 49 returns 7. |
3) Cómo funciona (fórmula)
The calculator evaluates the principal root using:
√x = x^(1/2)
Variables:
x= non-negative input number√x= principal (non-negative) square root
Behind the scenes, efficient iterative methods (e.g., Newton–Raphson) provide high-precision results.
4) Salidas
| Salida | Qué significa |
|---|---|
| Raíz cuadrada | The value that squared equals the input. Example: √81 = 9. |
5) Casos prácticos
- Educación — verify homework or exam prep answers.
- Science & Engineering — compute roots in physics, geometry, and signal processing.
- Finance/Stats — quick checks during standard-deviation/variance work.
- Architecture & Design — diagonal lengths and distance calculations.
- Everyday Math — fast results in spreadsheets and calculators.
6) FAQ
Can I take the square root of a negative number?
Not in the real numbers. Negative inputs yield imaginary results (e.g., √−9 = 3i). This tool returns real principal roots.
What’s the difference between squaring and square rooting?
Squaring multiplies a number by itself (6² = 36). The square root reverses that operation (√36 = 6).
Does the calculator handle decimals and large values?
Yes. It supports both decimal and very large inputs, returning precise results to many places.
Which root does it return?
The calculator returns the principal (non-negative) square root.
