How to Use Google Calculator to Find Square Roots, Cube Roots, and Bigger Roots
Google calculator is very efficient when it comes to calculating roots of numbers. The problem is that many people do not know how to make Google to perform these kinds of mathematical operations.
How to Calculate Square Roots
The official way to make Google calculate a square root is to type the following into a Google search box.
sqrt [insert number here]
For example, if you type in sqrt 16, Google will tell you the answer.
When you type in a calculator function, such as sqrt, Google by default omits search results that match the keywords/numbers entered. If you want to see the search results, Google provides a link to search results that contain the terms sqrt 16.
Although not official, Google also allows you to find the square root of a number by asking it. Below, I simply typed in what is the square root of four? and Google returns the answer.
Another method to find the square root of a number is to just type in square root [type number here].
If you want to find a cube root of a number, just type in cube root [type number here]. The of that I put in the search box below isn’t necessary.
To find larger roots, you can just type in nth root of [type number here]. Where nth represents any ordinal number such as 5th, 22nd, or 61st.
Lastly, as you can see below. Google is capable of calculating large roots of very large numbers. It is important to note that if you are looking for accuracy, Google may not be your best option here since it only gives you nine significant figures in the answer to the query below.
