The value of \sqrt{Q}
lies between which two consecutive integers?
N < \sqrt{Q} <
N + 1
Consider the perfect squares near Q
.
[What are perfect squares?]
Perfect squares are integers which can be obtained by squaring an integer.
The first 13 perfect squares are:
\qquad 1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100,121,144,169
N * N
is the nearest perfect square less than Q
.
(N + 1) * (N + 1)
is the nearest perfect square more than Q
.
So, N * N < Q < (N + 1) * (N + 1)
.
\sqrt{N * N} < \sqrt{Q} < \sqrt{(N + 1)*(N + 1)}
N < \sqrt{Q} < N + 1
