Simplify Square Root of 31958

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 31958. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 31958 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.

√31958 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 31958 to simplify the square root of 31958. 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 31958. The factors of 31958 are 1, 2, 19, 29, 38, 58, 551, 841, 1102, 1682, 15979, and 31958. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 841 and the square root of 841 is 29. Therefore, A equals 29.

B = Calculate 31958 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 31958. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 31958 is 841. Furthermore, 31958 divided by 841 is 38, therefore B equals 38.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 31958 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√31958 = A√B

√31958 = 29√38

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 31958 to simplify the square root of 31958 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 31958 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 31958 are 2 x 19 x 29 x 29. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 29 x 29 = 841 and the square root of 841 is 29. Therefore, A equals 29.

B = Divide 31958 by the number (A) squared. 29 squared is 841 and 31958 divided by 841 is 38. Therefore, B equals 38.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 31958 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√31958 = A√B

√31958 = 29√38
