Simplify Square Root of 3718

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 3718. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 3718 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.

√3718 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 3718 to simplify the square root of 3718. 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 3718. The factors of 3718 are 1, 2, 11, 13, 22, 26, 143, 169, 286, 338, 1859, and 3718. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 169 and the square root of 169 is 13. Therefore, A equals 13.

B = Calculate 3718 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 3718. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 3718 is 169. Furthermore, 3718 divided by 169 is 22, therefore B equals 22.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 3718 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√3718 = A√B

√3718 = 13√22

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 3718 to simplify the square root of 3718 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 3718 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 3718 are 2 x 11 x 13 x 13. 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 3718 by the number (A) squared. 13 squared is 169 and 3718 divided by 169 is 22. Therefore, B equals 22.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 3718 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√3718 = A√B

√3718 = 13√22
