We will continue from where we ended in the last article, the actual solutions to calculate Square root using abacus. Today's example is Half-multiplication table method (Hankuku method), root is 3-digits case and contains Zero. Please check the Theory page for your reference. You can check the Index page of all articles.
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 501,264
(Answer is 708)
"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.
501,264 -> (50|12|64) : 50 is the 1st group number. The root digits is 2.
