Simplify Square Root of 41868

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 41868. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 41868 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.

√41868 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 41868 to simplify the square root of 41868. 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 41868. The factors of 41868 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36, 1163, 2326, 3489, 4652, 6978, 10467, 13956, 20934, and 41868. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 36 and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, A equals 6.

B = Calculate 41868 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 41868. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 41868 is 36. Furthermore, 41868 divided by 36 is 1163, therefore B equals 1163.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 41868 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√41868 = A√B

√41868 = 6√1163

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 41868 to simplify the square root of 41868 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 41868 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 41868 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1163. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36 and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, A equals 6.

B = Divide 41868 by the number (A) squared. 6 squared is 36 and 41868 divided by 36 is 1163. Therefore, B equals 1163.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 41868 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√41868 = A√B

√41868 = 6√1163
