10000 \sqrt{10000} = 100 x 10 \sqrt{10}

10000 \sqrt{10000} = 100 X 3.162(approx)

10000 \sqrt{10000} = 316.2

Thus the required number yields its square more than 100000, thus we take the nearest integer which is 317 \huge{317}

Nice approach

in your first line it should be 100000 instead of 10000

The smallest integer with its square less than 100 , 000 100,000 is 316 316 so the smallest integer with its square more than 100 , 000 100,000 would be 316 + 1 = 317 316+1=\boxed{317}

102400-639=101761; 101761-637=101124; 101124-635=100489.......... 633 is the 317th odd number.....so the answer is 317

Just take the square root of 100,000.

100√ 10

but 3<√ 10<4

So, 300<100√ 10<400

or:

316<100√ 10<400

Final answer: 317.

sqrt(100000) = 316.22 so lowest integer with square greater than 100000 is 317

\sqrt{316} < 100000 < sqrt{317}

99856 < 100000 < 100489

so, 317 is smallest number which has its square number more than 100000.
