Square Root Calculator

Find the square root of any number. Works with decimals and large numbers.

How It Works

The square root of a number X is a value Y such that Y x Y = X.

For example, the square root of 144 is 12, because 12 x 12 = 144.

A perfect square is a number whose square root is a whole number (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36...).

Negative numbers do not have real square roots. The square root of a negative number is an imaginary number involving i (the imaginary unit).
