:The method does not require the initial guess to be the closest perfect square. This was only used to obtain a bound on the error. The 600 value is obtained in the above section on scalar estimates and was used as the initial guess in the previous example. --[[User:Wcherowi|Bill Cherowitzo ]] ([[User talk:Wcherowi|talk]]) 23:27, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 
The article referenced [https://simplycurious.blog/2018/06/05/bucking-down-to-the-bakhshali-manuscript/ above] makes clear, by numerical example, that the initial guess does not need to be near the closest perfect square.
