-Write down the factors of #784# and and see if they share the same with the choices.
- For example, if you see #27# and #29#, you can tell that there is no factor of #27# or #29# in 576 since they are prime number and eliminate them.
- At this time you verify one by multiplying #28xx28# to verify.

The square root of #784 = 28#

Explanation:

It is beneficial to be able to estimate, or calculate exactly the square root of any number when a calculator is not present.

For this example, we can start an estimation limit high and low as follows:

#20xx20=400# is too low

#30xx30=900# is too high, but closer to #784#

If we raise the lower limit to #25#:

#25xx25=625# is still too low, but closer.

Now our range is #26 to 29#.

But the squared number ends in #4#, and the only number in our range multiplied by itself to result in a #4# would be #8xx8#.

So the Square root of #784 = 28#

From the factor tree we have:

#sqrt(2^2xx2^2xx7^2)=2xx2xx7 =28#
