Odd numbers can have perfect square roots -- like 9, 25, 49, 81, 121 -- in fact, the square of an odd number is always an odd number. So, finding the square root of an odd number is no different from finding it for an even number. If your calculator has the square root function, use it. But if you want to calculate by hand, here's the brute force method explained:

Do you mean the square root of an odd number, or a prime number? The most common examples are 81 (9*9) and 9 (3*3) or as someone else said 25(5*5). That isn't really difficult. But if you are trying to find the square root of a prime number, you'll be looking for along time. That would end up being a continual decimal.

Only certain numbers (squares) have roots. Any odd number multiplied by itself will produce another odd number. This number is the resulting of squaring the first. This means that the square root of the product of any odd number squared is that number.
For example, 3 x 3 = 9. Therefore the square root of 9 is 3.

the same way you find the square root of odd numbers like 25 to 5. odd and even are irrelevant

square root of any number (including odd) can be found by calculator or your math knowledge
e.g. square root of 9 = 3
as 3 * 3 = 9

Umm the square root of 25 is 5. 25 is an odd number so, yes you can multiply two of the same numbers together and get and odd number....Jeesh!
