Simplify Square Root of 53376

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 53376. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 53376 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.

√53376 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 53376 to simplify the square root of 53376. 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 53376. The factors of 53376 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 139, 192, 278, 384, 417, 556, 834, 1112, 1668, 2224, 3336, 4448, 6672, 8896, 13344, 17792, 26688, and 53376. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 64 and the square root of 64 is 8. Therefore, A equals 8.

B = Calculate 53376 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 53376. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 53376 is 64. Furthermore, 53376 divided by 64 is 834, therefore B equals 834.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 53376 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√53376 = A√B

√53376 = 8√834

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 53376 to simplify the square root of 53376 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 53376 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 53376 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 139. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64 and the square root of 64 is 8. Therefore, A equals 8.

B = Divide 53376 by the number (A) squared. 8 squared is 64 and 53376 divided by 64 is 834. Therefore, B equals 834.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 53376 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√53376 = A√B

√53376 = 8√834
