Simplify Square Root of 22472

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 22472. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 22472 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.

√22472 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 22472 to simplify the square root of 22472. 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 22472. The factors of 22472 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 212, 424, 2809, 5618, 11236, and 22472. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 11236 and the square root of 11236 is 106. Therefore, A equals 106.

B = Calculate 22472 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 22472. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 22472 is 11236. Furthermore, 22472 divided by 11236 is 2, therefore B equals 2.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 22472 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√22472 = A√B

√22472 = 106√2

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 22472 to simplify the square root of 22472 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 22472 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 22472 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 53 x 53. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 53 x 53 = 11236 and the square root of 11236 is 106. Therefore, A equals 106.

B = Divide 22472 by the number (A) squared. 106 squared is 11236 and 22472 divided by 11236 is 2. Therefore, B equals 2.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 22472 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√22472 = A√B

√22472 = 106√2
