Abstract In this paper, an ancient Babylonian algorithm for calculating the square root of 2 is unveiled, and the potential link between this primitive technique and an ancient Chinese method is explored. The iteration process is a symmetrical property, whereby the approximate root converges to the exact one through harmonious interactions between two approximate roots. Subsequently, the algorithm is extended in an ingenious manner to solve algebraic equations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the modified algorithm, a transcendental equation that arises in MEMS systems is considered. Furthermore, the established algorithm is adeptly adapted to handle differential equations and fractal-fractional differential equations. Two illustrative examples are presented for consideration: the first is a nonlinear first-order differential equation, and the second is the renowned Duffing equation. The results demonstrate that this age-old Babylonian approach offers a novel and highly effective method for addressing contemporary problems with remarkable ease, presenting a promising solution to a diverse range of modern challenges.
