Simplify Square Root of 19936

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 19936. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 19936 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.

√19936 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 19936 to simplify the square root of 19936. 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 19936. The factors of 19936 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 32, 56, 89, 112, 178, 224, 356, 623, 712, 1246, 1424, 2492, 2848, 4984, 9968, and 19936. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 19936 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 19936. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 19936 is 16. Furthermore, 19936 divided by 16 is 1246, therefore B equals 1246.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 19936 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√19936 = A√B

√19936 = 4√1246

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 19936 to simplify the square root of 19936 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 19936 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 19936 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 89. 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 19936 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 19936 divided by 16 is 1246. Therefore, B equals 1246.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 19936 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√19936 = A√B

√19936 = 4√1246
