I am building a calculator and already have addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, squaring a number, and I want to add in the square root function. The only problem is I don't know what the formula or whatever its called is for finding the square root of a number. Does anyone know it? I figured out if you could multiply 64 by .125 and it gives you 8 but that doesn't work for all numbers such as 49. So if someone could tell me the formula I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.
