Simplify with out using a calculator the square root of 704.
factorization can be done by successive division by the prime numbers:

Now we employ the properties of square roots:

How do you solve square roots of irrational numbers w/o a calculator? for example sqroot of 68.
There are many ways. One way is to sort of work backwards:
64 < 68 < 81 (close to 64),
so sqrt(68) is close to 8.
Then by trial and error, determine that
8.2 < sqrt(68) < 8.3
Continue this process as long as you are able.
64 < 68 < 81 (close to 64),
so sqrt(68) is close to 8.
Then by trial and error, determine that
8.2 < sqrt(68) < 8.3

±√324 - how do you solve this
A method of extracting roots is to use the factorization of a number (by successively dividing out primes until the number is manageable)
factoring 324...
324=2*162=
2^2*81=2^2*9^2
so that 324 = (2*9)^2 = 18^2
therefore the square root of 324 is 18
±√324 = ±18
