Python offers a wealth of mathematical functions in the form of the [math module][math-module] and built-ins such as the exponentiation operator `**`, [`pow()`][pow] and [`sum()`][sum].
However, we'd like you to consider the challenge of solving this exercise without those built-ins or modules.

While there is a mathematical formula that will find the square root of _any_ number, we have gone the route of having only [natural numbers][nautral-number] (positive integers) as solutions.
It is possible to compute the square root of any natural number using only natural numbers in the computation.

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