Simplify Square Root of 8993

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 8993. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 8993 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.

√8993 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 8993 to simplify the square root of 8993. 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 8993. The factors of 8993 are 1, 17, 23, 391, 529, and 8993. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 529 and the square root of 529 is 23. Therefore, A equals 23.

B = Calculate 8993 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 8993. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 8993 is 529. Furthermore, 8993 divided by 529 is 17, therefore B equals 17.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 8993 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√8993 = A√B

√8993 = 23√17

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 8993 to simplify the square root of 8993 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 8993 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 8993 are 17 x 23 x 23. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 23 x 23 = 529 and the square root of 529 is 23. Therefore, A equals 23.

B = Divide 8993 by the number (A) squared. 23 squared is 529 and 8993 divided by 529 is 17. Therefore, B equals 17.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 8993 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√8993 = A√B

√8993 = 23√17
