mathematician Pythagoras.
Boudhyana Sulabhsutra
Learn about an ancient Indian technique that uses simple steps to calculate the approximate value of square roots.

1 Origin

Boudhyana Sulabhsutra was invented by the

Method
The method involves finding a ratio between
the number whose square root is to be
calculated and a perfect square, then using
this ratio to form a new number that is very
close to the actual square root.
Indian mathematician Boudhayana around
2 800 BCE.
3 Accuracy
The method can provide close
approximations up to four decimal places
and is still used in some parts of India today.
The Boudhyana Sulabhsutra Algorithm
Get a step-by-step breakdown of how to apply the Boudhyana Sulabhsutra method to find an approximate value for the
square root of 2.

1. Define the number whose square root is to be approximated (in this case, 2).

2. Find the nearest perfect square to this number (in this case, 1).

3. Divide the original number by the perfect square (2 / 1 = 2).

4. Add the perfect square to the quotient and divide the result by 2 ((2 + 1) / 2 = 1.5).

5. Repeat step 4 until the result stabilizes (1.5, 1.4166, 1.41422...).
