About square roots

The square root of a number is the value that squares to it: √16 = 4 because 4 × 4 = 16. Most square roots are irrational decimals, so the calculator gives a precise approximation. Square roots are everywhere in geometry, statistics, and physics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take the square root of a negative number?

Not as a real number — the square root of a negative is imaginary. This calculator works with zero and positive numbers.

Why isn't the result a whole number?

Only perfect squares (4, 9, 16, …) have whole-number roots. Other values give irrational decimals, shown here to high precision.
