Simplify Square Root of 16625

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 16625. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 16625 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.

√16625 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 16625 to simplify the square root of 16625. 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 16625. The factors of 16625 are 1, 5, 7, 19, 25, 35, 95, 125, 133, 175, 475, 665, 875, 2375, 3325, and 16625. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Calculate 16625 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 16625. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 16625 is 25. Furthermore, 16625 divided by 25 is 665, therefore B equals 665.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 16625 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√16625 = A√B

√16625 = 5√665

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 16625 to simplify the square root of 16625 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 16625 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 16625 are 5 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 19. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 5 x 5 = 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Divide 16625 by the number (A) squared. 5 squared is 25 and 16625 divided by 25 is 665. Therefore, B equals 665.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 16625 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√16625 = A√B

√16625 = 5√665
