#41469 - RE: Square root algo
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Here is what they used back when mechanical
calculators were the only option.

An+1=1/2*(An+Ao/An)

So, to find square root of 49 will take:
49
25 = 0.5*(49+49/49)
13.48 = 0.5*(25+49/25)
8.55
7.14
7.00
I hope, it may help.
Regards
Alexander
