Problem Statement

Sometimes a function is needed to find the integer square root of   X,   where   X   can be a real non─negative number. Often   X   is actually a non─negative integer. For the purposes of this task,   X   can be an integer or a real number,   but if it simplifies things in your computer programming language,   assume it's an integer.

One of the most common uses of   Isqrt   is in the division of an integer by all factors   (or primes)   up to the   √ X    of that integer,   either to find the factors of that integer,   or to determine primality.

An alternative method for finding the   Isqrt   of a number is to calculate:       floor( sqrt(X) )

If the hardware supports the computation of (real) square roots,   the above method might be a faster method for small numbers that don't have very many significant (decimal) digits. However, floating point arithmetic is limited in the number of   (binary or decimal)   digits that it can support.

For this task, the integer square root of a non─negative number will be computed using a version of   quadratic residue,   which has the advantage that no   floating point   calculations are used,   only integer arithmetic. Furthermore, the two divisions can be performed by bit shifting,   and the one multiplication can also be be performed by bit shifting or additions. The disadvantage is the limitation of the size of the largest integer that a particular computer programming language can support.
