Simplify Square Root of 26508

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 26508. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 26508 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.

√26508 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 26508 to simplify the square root of 26508. 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 26508. The factors of 26508 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 47, 94, 141, 188, 282, 564, 2209, 4418, 6627, 8836, 13254, and 26508. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 8836 and the square root of 8836 is 94. Therefore, A equals 94.

B = Calculate 26508 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 26508. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 26508 is 8836. Furthermore, 26508 divided by 8836 is 3, therefore B equals 3.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 26508 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√26508 = A√B

√26508 = 94√3

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 26508 to simplify the square root of 26508 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 26508 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 26508 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 47 x 47. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 47 x 47 = 8836 and the square root of 8836 is 94. Therefore, A equals 94.

B = Divide 26508 by the number (A) squared. 94 squared is 8836 and 26508 divided by 8836 is 3. Therefore, B equals 3.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 26508 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√26508 = A√B

√26508 = 94√3
