Simplify Square Root of 14672

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 14672. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 14672 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.

√14672 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 14672 to simplify the square root of 14672. 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 14672. The factors of 14672 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112, 131, 262, 524, 917, 1048, 1834, 2096, 3668, 7336, and 14672. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 14672 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 14672. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 14672 is 16. Furthermore, 14672 divided by 16 is 917, therefore B equals 917.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 14672 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√14672 = A√B

√14672 = 4√917

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 14672 to simplify the square root of 14672 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 14672 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 14672 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 131. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Divide 14672 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 14672 divided by 16 is 917. Therefore, B equals 917.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 14672 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√14672 = A√B

√14672 = 4√917
