Use the square root button on a calculator. Or estimate/use trial and error e.g. if you want to find the square root of 16, you might know that 3x3 is 9 and 5x5 is 25 so try 4x4 to get something in between. For some numbers it's very difficult to work it out mentally or with a pen and paper because it's not always a whole number.

You times the number by its-self e.g. the square route of 4 is 16. You can write it like this...4with a small 2 next to it = 4X4

Square root means " what number, times by itself."
eg; the square root of 49 is 7
7x7=49
the square root of 64 is 8
8x8=64
the square root of 144 is 12
12x12=144
Hope this helps

I don't! I avoid them whenever possible, because they are rather circuitous.
To get more serious though, there is an algorithm for working out the square root, not "route," of any number. Here's a link to a website which explains how it's done:
http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMAT4680.folders/Rice/sq%20root%20alg%20stuff/sq%20root%20alg.html
To find more, just google "square root algorithm."

with your calculator. it helps if you can remeber the perfect squares (4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100.....)
