Simplify Square Root of 28450

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 28450. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 28450 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.

√28450 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 28450 to simplify the square root of 28450. 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 28450. The factors of 28450 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 569, 1138, 2845, 5690, 14225, and 28450. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Calculate 28450 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 28450. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 28450 is 25. Furthermore, 28450 divided by 25 is 1138, therefore B equals 1138.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 28450 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√28450 = A√B

√28450 = 5√1138

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 28450 to simplify the square root of 28450 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 28450 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 28450 are 2 x 5 x 5 x 569. 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 28450 by the number (A) squared. 5 squared is 25 and 28450 divided by 25 is 1138. Therefore, B equals 1138.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 28450 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√28450 = A√B

√28450 = 5√1138
