Simplify Square Root of 8372

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 8372. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 8372 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.

√8372 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 8372 to simplify the square root of 8372. 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 8372. The factors of 8372 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 23, 26, 28, 46, 52, 91, 92, 161, 182, 299, 322, 364, 598, 644, 1196, 2093, 4186, and 8372. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 8372 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 8372. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 8372 is 4. Furthermore, 8372 divided by 4 is 2093, therefore B equals 2093.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 8372 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√8372 = A√B

√8372 = 2√2093

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 8372 to simplify the square root of 8372 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 8372 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 8372 are 2 x 2 x 7 x 13 x 23. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 = 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Divide 8372 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 8372 divided by 4 is 2093. Therefore, B equals 2093.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 8372 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√8372 = A√B

√8372 = 2√2093
