Simplify Square Root of 39256

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 39256. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 39256 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.

√39256 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 39256 to simplify the square root of 39256. 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 39256. The factors of 39256 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56, 701, 1402, 2804, 4907, 5608, 9814, 19628, and 39256. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 39256 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 39256. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 39256 is 4. Furthermore, 39256 divided by 4 is 9814, therefore B equals 9814.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 39256 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√39256 = A√B

√39256 = 2√9814

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 39256 to simplify the square root of 39256 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 39256 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 39256 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 701. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 = 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Divide 39256 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 39256 divided by 4 is 9814. Therefore, B equals 9814.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 39256 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√39256 = A√B

√39256 = 2√9814
