How do we find out the square root of a number?

We can find square root of a number by long division method and  factorization method.
By factorization method ,
    We resolve the given number into product of prime factors and choose a number out of every pair of recurring ones.
For example, 900= 2x2x3x3x5x5
so, square root of 900 is given by 2x3x5 = 30
By division method,
   We separate the digits of a given number whose square root is to be found out into pairs( each pair called period) beginning from the right.
eg:- to find square root of  1734489.
