Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

This guide provides complete HTML code for a square root calculator with JavaScript implementation. You'll learn how to create a responsive calculator that works in any modern browser, including mobile devices.

How to Use This Calculator

To use the square root calculator on this page:

  1. Enter a positive number in the input field
  2. Click the "Calculate" button
  3. View the result in the result panel
  4. Optionally, click "Reset" to clear the calculator

The calculator will display the square root of your input number with up to 10 decimal places of precision.

Square Root Formula

The square root of a number x is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives x. Mathematically, this is represented as:

√x = y where y × y = x

In JavaScript, we can calculate the square root using the built-in Math.sqrt() function:

let result = Math.sqrt(number);

The calculator uses this simple formula to provide accurate results for any positive number input.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Simple Square Root

If you enter 25 in the calculator:

  1. The formula becomes √25 = y
  2. We know 5 × 5 = 25
  3. Therefore, the result is 5

Example 2: Decimal Square Root

If you enter 2 in the calculator:

  1. The formula becomes √2 = y
  2. We know approximately 1.414 × 1.414 ≈ 2
  3. Therefore, the result is approximately 1.4142135624

Example 3: Large Number

If you enter 1000000 in the calculator:

  1. The formula becomes √1000000 = y
  2. We know 1000 × 1000 = 1000000
  3. Therefore, the result is 1000
