Simplify Square Root of 52736

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 52736. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 52736 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.

√52736 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 52736 to simplify the square root of 52736. 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 52736. The factors of 52736 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 103, 128, 206, 256, 412, 512, 824, 1648, 3296, 6592, 13184, 26368, and 52736. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 256 and the square root of 256 is 16. Therefore, A equals 16.

B = Calculate 52736 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 52736. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 52736 is 256. Furthermore, 52736 divided by 256 is 206, therefore B equals 206.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 52736 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√52736 = A√B

√52736 = 16√206

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 52736 to simplify the square root of 52736 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 52736 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 52736 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 103. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 256 and the square root of 256 is 16. Therefore, A equals 16.

B = Divide 52736 by the number (A) squared. 16 squared is 256 and 52736 divided by 256 is 206. Therefore, B equals 206.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 52736 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√52736 = A√B

√52736 = 16√206
