Simplify Square Root of 23240

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 23240. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 23240 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.

√23240 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 23240 to simplify the square root of 23240. 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 23240. The factors of 23240 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 14, 20, 28, 35, 40, 56, 70, 83, 140, 166, 280, 332, 415, 581, 664, 830, 1162, 1660, 2324, 2905, 3320, 4648, 5810, 11620, and 23240. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 23240 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 23240. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 23240 is 4. Furthermore, 23240 divided by 4 is 5810, therefore B equals 5810.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 23240 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√23240 = A√B

√23240 = 2√5810

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 23240 to simplify the square root of 23240 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 23240 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 23240 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 7 x 83. 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 23240 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 23240 divided by 4 is 5810. Therefore, B equals 5810.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 23240 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√23240 = A√B

√23240 = 2√5810
