I have a method, like when you get for example the square root of 75..
75 is 25*3.. So the root of 75 = the root of 25 * the root of 3
The root of 25 is 5 so the answer will be 5 square root of 3..
Sorry but i cant get the symbols for the roots im still new hope you understand it

square root of 65
squuare root of 64 is 8 so do 8+1/(2*8 )=8.0625
8.0625^2= 64.00390625
now do 8.0625-0.00390625/(2*8.0625)
which is about 8.0625-0.0039/(16.1)=8,06226 roughly

thts a standard method of find the surdform ...
its not the easiest way ..
there are better methods.. one lik astar has shown ...

in ur case 274 has to be broken up nd den tht broken up number has to be broken up till there is no more breakup of it ..
its a long nd complicated method... u need to know tables for it :)
