1/1
Square root algorithm:1) Divide the number into pairs of digits. The left most pair becomes the current target T.2) Find a digit D such that remainder R = T-D^2 is least possible. D becomes ourcurrent partial solution P.3) Append the next target to R and this becomes our new current tagret T.4) Find a digit D such that remainder R = T - [append(2P, D)*D] is least possibl
e. Append D to P, which becomes new P.5) Repeat 3, 4 until a satisfactory result is obtained.
Nth root algorithm:1) Divide the number into sets of n digits. The left most set becomes the current target T.2) Find a digit D such that remainder R = T-D^n is least possible. D becomes ourcurrent partial solution P.3) Append the next target to R and this becomes our new current tagret T.4) Find a digit D such that remainder R = T - [(10P+D)^n-(10P)^n] is least possible. Append D to P, which becomes new P.5) Repeat 3, 4 until a satisfactory result is obtained.
