In order to find the square root of a number, determine if the number is a perfect square.
Perfect square numbers include;1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 39, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144 …
This also applies even for rational numbers or fractions.
Noticed that 2/8 can be reduced to its lowest form
2/8 = 1 / 4
1 / 4 is a perfect square number
Taking the square of 1 is equal to 1, and taking the square of 4 is equal to 2
therefore the square root of ¼ is equal to ½ or 0.5
