Simplify Square Root of 24550

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 24550. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 24550 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.

√24550 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 24550 to simplify the square root of 24550. 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 24550. The factors of 24550 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 491, 982, 2455, 4910, 12275, and 24550. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Calculate 24550 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 24550. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 24550 is 25. Furthermore, 24550 divided by 25 is 982, therefore B equals 982.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 24550 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√24550 = A√B

√24550 = 5√982

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 24550 to simplify the square root of 24550 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 24550 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 24550 are 2 x 5 x 5 x 491. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 5 x 5 = 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Divide 24550 by the number (A) squared. 5 squared is 25 and 24550 divided by 25 is 982. Therefore, B equals 982.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 24550 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√24550 = A√B

√24550 = 5√982
