The square root of 115 can be written as √115 in its simplest radical form and (115)½ in the exponential form.
It means that there is a number a such that: a × a = 115. Now it can also be written as: a2 = 115 ⇒ a = √115.
a is the 2nd root of 115 and a = ± 10.723.

Square Root of 115 by Average Method

Take two perfect square numbers, one of which is just smaller than 115 and the other just greater than 115. It is written as: √100 < √115 < √121 ⇒ 10 < √ 115 < 11
Divide 115 by 11
Let us divide by 8 ⇒ 115 ÷ 11 = 10.45
Find the average of 10.45 and 11
(10.45 + 11)/2 = 21.45 ÷ 2 = 10.725
Hence, √115 ≈ 10.725

Square Root of 115 by the Long Division Method

The long division method helps us find the more accurate value of square root of any number. Let’s see how to find the square root of 115 by the long division method.

Step 1: Express 115 as 115.000000. We take the number in pairs from the right. Take 1 as the dividend.
Step 2: Now find a quotient which is the same as the divisor. Multiply quotient and the divisor and subtract the result from 1 and as we know 1 × 1 = 1.
Step 3: Now double the quotient obtained in step 2. Here is 1 × 2 = 2. 20 becomes the new divisor.
Step 4: Bring down 15. We have 1500 as the dividend now. Find a (number + 20) × number ≤ 15. We cannot find any. Hence bring down the next pair of zeros.
Step 5: We need to choose a number that while adding to 140 and multiplying the sum with the same number we get a number less than 600. 20+ 4 =144 and 164× 4 = 576. Subtract 576 from 600. We get 24.
Step 6: Bring down the next pair of zeros. 2400 is the new dividend. Double the quotient. Here it is 148. Have it as 1480. Now find a number at the unit’s place of 1480 multiplied by itself gives 2400 or less. We find that 1481 × 1 = 1481. Find the remainder.
Step 6: Repeat the process until we get the remainder equal to zero. The square root of 115 up to two places is obtained by the long division method. Thus, √115 = 7.416.
