Abacus steps to solve Square root of 11,943,936
(Answer is 3,456)
"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.
11,943,936 -> (11|94|39|36) : 11 is the 1st group number. The root digits is 4.
![]()
Step 1: Set 11943936. 1st group is 11.
![]()
Step 2: Square number smaller than or equal to 11 is 9=3^2. 3 is the 1st root.
![]()
Step 3: Sbtract 3^2 from the 1st group 11. 11-9=02
![]()
