Simplify Square Root of 2873

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 2873. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 2873 in its simplest radical form using two different methods.

To be more specific, we have created an illustration below showing what we want to calculate. Our goal is to make "A" outside the radical (√) as large as possible, and "B" inside the radical (√) as small as possible.

√2873 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 2873 to simplify the square root of 2873. This is how to calculate A and B using this method:

A = Calculate the square root of the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 2873. The factors of 2873 are 1, 13, 17, 169, 221, and 2873. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 169 and the square root of 169 is 13. Therefore, A equals 13.

B = Calculate 2873 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 2873. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 2873 is 169. Furthermore, 2873 divided by 169 is 17, therefore B equals 17.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 2873 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√2873 = A√B

√2873 = 13√17

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 2873 to simplify the square root of 2873 to its simplest form possible. This is how to calculate A and B using this method:

A = Multiply all the double prime factors (pairs) of 2873 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 2873 are 13 x 13 x 17. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 13 x 13 = 169 and the square root of 169 is 13. Therefore, A equals 13.

B = Divide 2873 by the number (A) squared. 13 squared is 169 and 2873 divided by 169 is 17. Therefore, B equals 17.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 2873 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√2873 = A√B

√2873 = 13√17
