1825

Sum

Solution

The square root of 1825 can be calculated by long division method as follows.

  42
4 `bar18  bar25`
-16
82     225
   -164
         61

The remainder is 61.

Clearly, 422 = 1764 < 1825

432 = 1849 > 1825

The number that should be added is 1849 - 1825 = 24, and the square root of 1849 is 43.
