Simplify Square Root of 12150

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 12150. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 12150 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.

√12150 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 12150 to simplify the square root of 12150. 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 12150. The factors of 12150 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 27, 30, 45, 50, 54, 75, 81, 90, 135, 150, 162, 225, 243, 270, 405, 450, 486, 675, 810, 1215, 1350, 2025, 2430, 4050, 6075, and 12150. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 2025 and the square root of 2025 is 45. Therefore, A equals 45.

B = Calculate 12150 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 12150. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 12150 is 2025. Furthermore, 12150 divided by 2025 is 6, therefore B equals 6.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 12150 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√12150 = A√B

√12150 = 45√6

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 12150 to simplify the square root of 12150 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 12150 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 12150 are 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 2025 and the square root of 2025 is 45. Therefore, A equals 45.

B = Divide 12150 by the number (A) squared. 45 squared is 2025 and 12150 divided by 2025 is 6. Therefore, B equals 6.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 12150 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√12150 = A√B

√12150 = 45√6
