| -4 | Subtract square of B from first group |
| 2 567890123 | Null remainder |
| 4 567890123 | Doubling B. Appending next group to remainder |
| 41 567890123 | 5/4≈1, try 1 as next root digit |
| -4 | Continue division by 41, subtract 1✕41 from EF |
| -1 | |
| 41 157890123 | 15 as remainder |
| 42 157890123 | Double second root digit |
| 42 157890123 | Append next group |
| 423157890123 | 157/42≈3, try 3 as next root digit |
| -12 | Continue division by 423, subtract 3✕423 from E-H |
| -06 | |
| -09 | |

| 426 30990123 | Double third root digit |
| 426 30990123 | Append next group |
| etc. |
and could also be enhanced by using some abacus diagrams here and there like this one:
