Simplify Square Root of 28528

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 28528. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 28528 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.

√28528 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 28528 to simplify the square root of 28528. 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 28528. The factors of 28528 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 1783, 3566, 7132, 14264, and 28528. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 28528 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 28528. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 28528 is 16. Furthermore, 28528 divided by 16 is 1783, therefore B equals 1783.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 28528 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√28528 = A√B

√28528 = 4√1783

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 28528 to simplify the square root of 28528 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 28528 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 28528 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 1783. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Divide 28528 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 28528 divided by 16 is 1783. Therefore, B equals 1783.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 28528 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√28528 = A√B

√28528 = 4√1783
