Check out the Wikipedia pages on [square root](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root) and [methods of computing square roots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing_square_roots).

Recall that natural numbers are positive real whole numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3 and up).
Note that the term "radicand" refers to the number for which the root is to be determined. That is, it is the number under the root symbol.

Recall also that natural numbers are positive real whole numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3 and up).

When implementing this in a language with a built-in square root function, implement your own function.
