    Example: find the square root of 75. 75 = 75 × 10 2 · 0, so a is 75 and n is 0. From the multiplication tables, the square root of the mantissa must be 8 point something because a is between 8×8 = 64 and 9×9 = 81, so k is 8; something is the decimal representation of R.

    The following three tables show examples of the result of this computation for finding the square root of 612, with the iteration initialized at the values of 1, 10, and −20. Each row in a " x n " column is obtained by applying the preceding formula to the entry above it, for instance

  4. Square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root

    The square root of a positive integer is the product of the roots of its prime factors, because the square root of a product is the product of the square roots of the factors. Since p 2 k = p k , {\textstyle {\sqrt {p^{2k}}}=p^{k},} only roots of those primes having an odd power in the factorization are necessary.

  5. Integer square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_square_root

    For example, if one computes the integer square root of 2000000 using the algorithm above, one obtains the sequence In total 13 iteration steps are needed. Although Heron's method converges quadratically close to the solution, less than one bit precision per iteration is gained at the beginning.

  6. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    A square root of a number x is a number r which, when squared, becomes x: =. Every positive real number has two square roots, one positive and one negative. For example, the two square roots of 25 are 5 and −5. The positive square root is also known as the principal square root, and is denoted with a radical sign:

  7. Fast inverse square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root

    Lighting and reflection calculations, as in the video game OpenArena, use the fast inverse square root code to compute angles of incidence and reflection.. Fast inverse square root, sometimes referred to as Fast InvSqrt() or by the hexadecimal constant 0x5F3759DF, is an algorithm that estimates , the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of the square root of a 32-bit floating-point number in ...

    For the "n" root just do the same keeping "n" Tartaglia's line In the following pictures 2 example of how the Two-Hand-Clock works for numbers from 0 to 11, in the case of Square and Cubic Root or Power. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StefanoMaruelli (talk • contribs) 05:45, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

  9. Laguerre's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laguerre's_method

    If x is a simple root of the polynomial , then Laguerre's method converges cubically whenever the initial guess, , is close enough to the root . On the other hand, when x 1 {\displaystyle \ x_{1}\ } is a multiple root convergence is merely linear, with the penalty of calculating values for the polynomial and its first and second derivatives at ...
