Simplify Square Root of 36982

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 36982. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 36982 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.

√36982 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 36982 to simplify the square root of 36982. 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 36982. The factors of 36982 are 1, 2, 11, 22, 41, 82, 451, 902, 1681, 3362, 18491, and 36982. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 1681 and the square root of 1681 is 41. Therefore, A equals 41.

B = Calculate 36982 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 36982. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 36982 is 1681. Furthermore, 36982 divided by 1681 is 22, therefore B equals 22.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 36982 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√36982 = A√B

√36982 = 41√22

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 36982 to simplify the square root of 36982 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 36982 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 36982 are 2 x 11 x 41 x 41. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 41 x 41 = 1681 and the square root of 1681 is 41. Therefore, A equals 41.

B = Divide 36982 by the number (A) squared. 41 squared is 1681 and 36982 divided by 1681 is 22. Therefore, B equals 22.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 36982 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√36982 = A√B

√36982 = 41√22
