Finding the square root of a number is the inverse operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the squares of the whole numbers. The square root of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself.

Since 7 is a Prime number, it has no square factors and its square root cannot be simplified. It is an irrational number, so cannot be exactly represented by pq for any integers p,q . We can however find good rational approximations to √7 .
