As a decimal approximation, √896 ≈ 29.93.

If you want your answer in simplest radical form, find a perfect square (4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, ...) that divides into 896 evenly (no remainder):

896 ÷ 4 = 224

224 ÷ 4 = 56

56 ÷ 4 = 14  

(14 cannot be divided evenly by any perfect square, so stop) 

There have been three successful divisions by 4,

So, 896 = 4 x 4 x 4 x 14    

--->   √896 = √4 x V4 x V4 x √14    =    2 x 2 x 2 x √14    =    8 x √14    =    8√14
