[Set 4,096 on Mr. Square root]Zoom
[Japanese]
From this article, I begin to explain actual solutions how to calculate Square root using abacus. Today's example is simple - basic Half-multiplication table 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 4,096 (Answer is 64)
"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.
4,096 -> (40|96) : 40 is the 1st group number. The root digits is 2.

Step 1: Place 4096 on CDEF.
![]()
Step 2: The 1st group is 40.
![]()
Step 3: Square number ≦ 40 is 36=6^2. Place 6 on B as the 1st root.
![]()
Step 4: Subtract 6^2 from the 1st group 40. 40-36=4
![]()
Step 5: Focus on 496 on DEF.
![]()
Step 6: Divide 496 by 2. Place 248 on DEF.
![]()
Step 7: Divide 24 on DE by the current root 6.
![]()
Step 8: 24/6=4 remainder 0. Place 4 on C as 2nd root.
![]()
Step 9: Place remainder 00 on DE.
![]()
Step 10: Focus on 8 in the 2nd group.
![]()
Step 11: Subtract half of the square of the 2nd root from 8. Place 8-4^2/2=0 on F.
![]()
Step 12: Square root of 4096 is 64.
![]()
Final state: Answer 64
