Simplify Square Root of 13600

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 13600. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 13600 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.

√13600 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 13600 to simplify the square root of 13600. 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 13600. The factors of 13600 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 17, 20, 25, 32, 34, 40, 50, 68, 80, 85, 100, 136, 160, 170, 200, 272, 340, 400, 425, 544, 680, 800, 850, 1360, 1700, 2720, 3400, 6800, and 13600. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 400 and the square root of 400 is 20. Therefore, A equals 20.

B = Calculate 13600 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 13600. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 13600 is 400. Furthermore, 13600 divided by 400 is 34, therefore B equals 34.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 13600 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√13600 = A√B

√13600 = 20√34

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 13600 to simplify the square root of 13600 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 13600 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 13600 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 17. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 400 and the square root of 400 is 20. Therefore, A equals 20.

B = Divide 13600 by the number (A) squared. 20 squared is 400 and 13600 divided by 400 is 34. Therefore, B equals 34.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 13600 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√13600 = A√B

√13600 = 20√34
