You can do this by trial and error. Since \(\sqrt{110 } \ is\ approximately\ 10.4880884817 \) with fractiona part equal to

                                                   

                                                        \(10.4880884817 -10 = 0.4880884817<0.5\),

 

and \(\sqrt{111}\) is approximately \(10.5356537529 \)with fractional part equal to

                                                        

                                                        \(10.5356537529 -10=0.5356537529>0.5\),

n = 111 must be the number you are looking for.
