It's a little hard to be sure what you mean by this question without seeing what you are looking at. I can think of two likely possibilities: 1. A number which is the same size as the square root symbol and written at the same level but located just in front of the symbol. This would just be a multiplier. 2. A smaller, superscripted number, possibly tucked into the angle at the front of the square root symbol. In this case, it isn't really a square root symbol anymore. It's a symbol for the root indicated by the superscriped number. For instance, if the superscripted number is a three and the number inside the root symbol is 8, this would represent the cube root of 8, or 2 (2x2x2=8).
