Simplify Square Root of 21160

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 21160. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 21160 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.

√21160 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 21160 to simplify the square root of 21160. 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 21160. The factors of 21160 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 23, 40, 46, 92, 115, 184, 230, 460, 529, 920, 1058, 2116, 2645, 4232, 5290, 10580, and 21160. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 2116 and the square root of 2116 is 46. Therefore, A equals 46.

B = Calculate 21160 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 21160. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 21160 is 2116. Furthermore, 21160 divided by 2116 is 10, therefore B equals 10.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 21160 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√21160 = A√B

√21160 = 46√10

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 21160 to simplify the square root of 21160 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 21160 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 21160 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 23 x 23. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 23 x 23 = 2116 and the square root of 2116 is 46. Therefore, A equals 46.

B = Divide 21160 by the number (A) squared. 46 squared is 2116 and 21160 divided by 2116 is 10. Therefore, B equals 10.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 21160 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√21160 = A√B

√21160 = 46√10
