We will continue from where we ended in the last article, the article shows actual solutions to calculate Square root using abacus. Today's example is simple - basic Double-root method, root is 2-digits case. Please check the Theory page for your reference.
Square root methods: Double-root method, Double-root alternative method, half-multiplication table method, half-multiplication table alternative method, multiplication-subtraction method, constant number method, etc.
Abacus steps to solve Square root of 1,225 (Answer is 35)
"1st group number" is the left most numbers in the 2-digits groups of the given number for square root calculation. Number of groups is the number of digits of the Square root.
1,225 -> (12|25) : 12 is the 1st group number. The root digits is 2.
![]()
Step 1: Set 1225. 1st group is 12.
![]()
Step 2: Square number less than or equal 12 is 9=3x3. 3 is the 1st root.
![]()
Step 3: Subtract 3x3 from the 1st group 12. 12-9=3 : -a^2
![]()
Step 4: Place 6 which is 2x of 1st root 3. This 6 is double root.
![]()
Step 5: Divide 325 (FGH) by 6. Answer=5 and this is 2nd root (E). : /2a
![]()
Step 6: Subtract 6x5=30 from 32. : -2ab
![]()
Step 7: Subtract 5x5=25 from 2nd group 25. 25-25=0 : -b^2
![]()
Step 8: Square root of 1225 is 35.
![]()
Final state: Answer 35
