Algorithm to find $\sqrt{n}$ or $\sqrt[3]{n}$ or ...


$n$th Root Algorithm
THis is just a place marker. Somebody showed me a way to find square roots by a method reminicent of long division algorithm, and this is just some notes on the general case for fun. Completely impractical and useless, except for $n=2$ and possibly $n=3$ for smaller numbers.
