Simplify Square Root of 46032

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 46032. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 46032 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.

√46032 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 46032 to simplify the square root of 46032. 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 46032. The factors of 46032 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 16, 21, 24, 28, 42, 48, 56, 84, 112, 137, 168, 274, 336, 411, 548, 822, 959, 1096, 1644, 1918, 2192, 2877, 3288, 3836, 5754, 6576, 7672, 11508, 15344, 23016, and 46032. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 46032 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 46032. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 46032 is 16. Furthermore, 46032 divided by 16 is 2877, therefore B equals 2877.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 46032 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√46032 = A√B

√46032 = 4√2877

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 46032 to simplify the square root of 46032 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 46032 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 46032 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 137. 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 46032 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 46032 divided by 16 is 2877. Therefore, B equals 2877.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 46032 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√46032 = A√B

√46032 = 4√2877
