Integer square root

Integer square root means finding a whole number (an integer) that can be multiplied by itself to get a bigger number. To find the integer square root of a number, you could try out all the whole numbers, starting from 0 and working your way up, until you find one that when multiplied by itself is equal to or greater than the number you are looking for.
