Simplify Square Root of 3038

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 3038. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 3038 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.

√3038 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 3038 to simplify the square root of 3038. 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 3038. The factors of 3038 are 1, 2, 7, 14, 31, 49, 62, 98, 217, 434, 1519, and 3038. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 49 and the square root of 49 is 7. Therefore, A equals 7.

B = Calculate 3038 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 3038. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 3038 is 49. Furthermore, 3038 divided by 49 is 62, therefore B equals 62.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 3038 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√3038 = A√B

√3038 = 7√62

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 3038 to simplify the square root of 3038 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 3038 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 3038 are 2 x 7 x 7 x 31. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 7 x 7 = 49 and the square root of 49 is 7. Therefore, A equals 7.

B = Divide 3038 by the number (A) squared. 7 squared is 49 and 3038 divided by 49 is 62. Therefore, B equals 62.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 3038 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√3038 = A√B

√3038 = 7√62
