Simplify Square Root of 8477

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 8477. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 8477 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.

√8477 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 8477 to simplify the square root of 8477. 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 8477. The factors of 8477 are 1, 7, 49, 173, 1211, and 8477. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 49 and the square root of 49 is 7. Therefore, A equals 7.

B = Calculate 8477 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 8477. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 8477 is 49. Furthermore, 8477 divided by 49 is 173, therefore B equals 173.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 8477 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√8477 = A√B

√8477 = 7√173

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 8477 to simplify the square root of 8477 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 8477 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 8477 are 7 x 7 x 173. 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 8477 by the number (A) squared. 7 squared is 49 and 8477 divided by 49 is 173. Therefore, B equals 173.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 8477 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√8477 = A√B

√8477 = 7√173
