Square root of 14

If you are looking to answer the following questions: “what is the square root of 14?” The answer is 3.7416573867739. 

ANSWER: square root of 14=3.7416573867739

The square root of a number (14 in this case) is a number (3.7416573867739 in this case) which multiplied by itself equals the number from which you are calculating the square root (14). Mathematically square root of 14 can expressed in the radical form or an exponent form as shown below:

• Radical form of the square root of 14: √14
• Exponent form of the square root of 14: (14)^½ or (14)^0.5

This symbol √ is called radical sign or radix. The number whose square root is being calculated is called the radicand. The radicand is the number underneath the radical sign (radix), in this case it is 14.

You will find all the information you need on the square root of 14 calculations below. 

What is the square root of 14?

The square root of 14 is a number which multiplied by itself equals 14. Therefore, the square root of 14 is 3.7416573867739 and we write it √14=3.7416573867739 because 3.74165738677392=14. Since 3.74165738677392 is the same as 3.7416573867739 x 3.7416573867739 the following expressions is true:

14 = 3.74165738677392=3.7416573867739×3.7416573867739

Therefore

ANSWER: square root of 14=√14=3.7416573867739

Is 14 a Perfect Square?

A number is considered a perfect square if it is a product of squaring a whole number (called integer). 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9 are all whole numbers (same as integers). Numbers such as -8, 7.025, or 5 ½ are not whole numbers. Remember squaring is when a number is multiplied by itself. For example, 81 is a perfect square because it is a product of 92 which is the same as 9×9. Notice 9 is a whole number (integer).

In our example the square root of 14 is 3.7416573867739. Since 3.7416573867739 is not a whole number therefore 14 is not a perfect square.

ANSWER: 14 is not a whole number 

Is the square root of 14 rational or irrational number?

A number is rational when it can be made by dividing a whole number by a whole number. A whole number which is also called an integer does not have a fractional part itself. Simply said a number is rational if it can be written as a fraction. 

A quick method to determine if 14 is a perfect square. The square roots of perfect squares are all rational numbers. The square roots of numbers that are not a perfect square are all irrational numbers. Since we know that 14 is not a perfect square therefore 14 is not a rational number.

Principal square root of 14

Every positive number has two square roots. One of the square roots is positive and another one is negative. For example the square roots of 14 are -3.7416573867739 (negative) and +3.7416573867739 (positive) because  (-3.7416573867739)^2=(+3.7416573867739)^2=14. The positive square root is denoted as “the principal square root”. Typically, when we are calculating “the square root of a number” we mean the principal square root. In our case it is positive 3.7416573867739 or +3.7416573867739 which is written as 3.7416573867739. As you may know if there is no minus (-) sign before a number it is a positive number. 

Again the principal square root of 14 is 3.7416573867739.

Calculating the square root of 14 with a calculator

In order to calculate the square root of 14 with a basic or a scientific calculator you need to enter 14 and then press the key with this sign  “√x”

√14 = 3.7416573867739

Calculating the square root of 14 in Excel and Google Sheets

There are two functions you can use to do this calculation. You can use the function SQRT () to calculate the square root of any number in Excel and Google Sheets. Click on a cell and type =SQRT(14). Hit enter. You will get 3.7416573867739.

You can also use the POWER function which works like an exponent is an equation. To find a square root of 14 type =POWER (14, 1/2). Remember square roots can be expressed as exponents as we discussed earlier in this article.
