Simplify Square Root of 41712

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 41712. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 41712 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.

√41712 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 41712 to simplify the square root of 41712. 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 41712. The factors of 41712 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 16, 22, 24, 33, 44, 48, 66, 79, 88, 132, 158, 176, 237, 264, 316, 474, 528, 632, 869, 948, 1264, 1738, 1896, 2607, 3476, 3792, 5214, 6952, 10428, 13904, 20856, and 41712. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 41712 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 41712. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 41712 is 16. Furthermore, 41712 divided by 16 is 2607, therefore B equals 2607.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 41712 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√41712 = A√B

√41712 = 4√2607

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 41712 to simplify the square root of 41712 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 41712 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 41712 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 x 79. 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 41712 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 41712 divided by 16 is 2607. Therefore, B equals 2607.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 41712 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√41712 = A√B

√41712 = 4√2607
