Simplify Square Root of 475

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 475. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 475 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.

√475 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 475 to simplify the square root of 475. 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 475. The factors of 475 are 1, 5, 19, 25, 95, and 475. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Calculate 475 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 475. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 475 is 25. Furthermore, 475 divided by 25 is 19, therefore B equals 19.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 475 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√475 = A√B

√475 = 5√19

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 475 to simplify the square root of 475 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 475 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 475 are 5 x 5 x 19. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 5 x 5 = 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Divide 475 by the number (A) squared. 5 squared is 25 and 475 divided by 25 is 19. Therefore, B equals 19.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 475 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√475 = A√B

√475 = 5√19
