Simplify Square Root of 30560

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 30560. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 30560 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.

√30560 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 30560 to simplify the square root of 30560. 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 30560. The factors of 30560 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 80, 160, 191, 382, 764, 955, 1528, 1910, 3056, 3820, 6112, 7640, 15280, and 30560. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 30560 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 30560. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 30560 is 16. Furthermore, 30560 divided by 16 is 1910, therefore B equals 1910.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 30560 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√30560 = A√B

√30560 = 4√1910

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 30560 to simplify the square root of 30560 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 30560 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 30560 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 191. 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 30560 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 30560 divided by 16 is 1910. Therefore, B equals 1910.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 30560 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√30560 = A√B

√30560 = 4√1910
