Simplify Square Root of 34736

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 34736. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 34736 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.

√34736 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 34736 to simplify the square root of 34736. 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 34736. The factors of 34736 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 16, 26, 52, 104, 167, 208, 334, 668, 1336, 2171, 2672, 4342, 8684, 17368, and 34736. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 34736 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 34736. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 34736 is 16. Furthermore, 34736 divided by 16 is 2171, therefore B equals 2171.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 34736 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√34736 = A√B

√34736 = 4√2171

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 34736 to simplify the square root of 34736 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 34736 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 34736 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 13 x 167. 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 34736 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 34736 divided by 16 is 2171. Therefore, B equals 2171.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 34736 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√34736 = A√B

√34736 = 4√2171
