Simplify Square Root of 15884

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 15884. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 15884 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.

√15884 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 15884 to simplify the square root of 15884. 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 15884. The factors of 15884 are 1, 2, 4, 11, 19, 22, 38, 44, 76, 209, 361, 418, 722, 836, 1444, 3971, 7942, and 15884. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 1444 and the square root of 1444 is 38. Therefore, A equals 38.

B = Calculate 15884 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 15884. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 15884 is 1444. Furthermore, 15884 divided by 1444 is 11, therefore B equals 11.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 15884 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√15884 = A√B

√15884 = 38√11

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 15884 to simplify the square root of 15884 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 15884 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 15884 are 2 x 2 x 11 x 19 x 19. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 19 x 19 = 1444 and the square root of 1444 is 38. Therefore, A equals 38.

B = Divide 15884 by the number (A) squared. 38 squared is 1444 and 15884 divided by 1444 is 11. Therefore, B equals 11.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 15884 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√15884 = A√B

√15884 = 38√11
