[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.
