Simplify Square Root of 50850

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 50850. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 50850 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.

√50850 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 50850 to simplify the square root of 50850. 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 50850. The factors of 50850 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 113, 150, 225, 226, 339, 450, 565, 678, 1017, 1130, 1695, 2034, 2825, 3390, 5085, 5650, 8475, 10170, 16950, 25425, and 50850. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 225 and the square root of 225 is 15. Therefore, A equals 15.

B = Calculate 50850 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 50850. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 50850 is 225. Furthermore, 50850 divided by 225 is 226, therefore B equals 226.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 50850 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√50850 = A√B

√50850 = 15√226

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 50850 to simplify the square root of 50850 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 50850 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 50850 are 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 113. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 225 and the square root of 225 is 15. Therefore, A equals 15.

B = Divide 50850 by the number (A) squared. 15 squared is 225 and 50850 divided by 225 is 226. Therefore, B equals 226.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 50850 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√50850 = A√B

√50850 = 15√226
