Simplify Square Root of 20088

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 20088. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 20088 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.

√20088 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 20088 to simplify the square root of 20088. 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 20088. The factors of 20088 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 27, 31, 36, 54, 62, 72, 81, 93, 108, 124, 162, 186, 216, 248, 279, 324, 372, 558, 648, 744, 837, 1116, 1674, 2232, 2511, 3348, 5022, 6696, 10044, and 20088. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 324 and the square root of 324 is 18. Therefore, A equals 18.

B = Calculate 20088 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 20088. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 20088 is 324. Furthermore, 20088 divided by 324 is 62, therefore B equals 62.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 20088 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√20088 = A√B

√20088 = 18√62

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 20088 to simplify the square root of 20088 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 20088 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 20088 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 31. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 324 and the square root of 324 is 18. Therefore, A equals 18.

B = Divide 20088 by the number (A) squared. 18 squared is 324 and 20088 divided by 324 is 62. Therefore, B equals 62.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 20088 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√20088 = A√B

√20088 = 18√62
