Simplify Square Root of 17108

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 17108. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 17108 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.

√17108 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 17108 to simplify the square root of 17108. 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 17108. The factors of 17108 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 14, 26, 28, 47, 52, 91, 94, 182, 188, 329, 364, 611, 658, 1222, 1316, 2444, 4277, 8554, and 17108. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 17108 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 17108. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 17108 is 4. Furthermore, 17108 divided by 4 is 4277, therefore B equals 4277.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 17108 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√17108 = A√B

√17108 = 2√4277

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 17108 to simplify the square root of 17108 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 17108 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 17108 are 2 x 2 x 7 x 13 x 47. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 = 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Divide 17108 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 17108 divided by 4 is 4277. Therefore, B equals 4277.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 17108 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√17108 = A√B

√17108 = 2√4277
