Simplify Square Root of 40158

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 40158. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 40158 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.

√40158 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 40158 to simplify the square root of 40158. 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 40158. The factors of 40158 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 23, 46, 69, 97, 138, 194, 207, 291, 414, 582, 873, 1746, 2231, 4462, 6693, 13386, 20079, and 40158. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 9 and the square root of 9 is 3. Therefore, A equals 3.

B = Calculate 40158 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 40158. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 40158 is 9. Furthermore, 40158 divided by 9 is 4462, therefore B equals 4462.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 40158 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√40158 = A√B

√40158 = 3√4462

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 40158 to simplify the square root of 40158 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 40158 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 40158 are 2 x 3 x 3 x 23 x 97. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 3 x 3 = 9 and the square root of 9 is 3. Therefore, A equals 3.

B = Divide 40158 by the number (A) squared. 3 squared is 9 and 40158 divided by 9 is 4462. Therefore, B equals 4462.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 40158 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√40158 = A√B

√40158 = 3√4462
