Simplify Square Root of 53848

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 53848. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 53848 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.

√53848 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 53848 to simplify the square root of 53848. 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 53848. The factors of 53848 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 53, 106, 127, 212, 254, 424, 508, 1016, 6731, 13462, 26924, and 53848. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 53848 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 53848. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 53848 is 4. Furthermore, 53848 divided by 4 is 13462, therefore B equals 13462.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 53848 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√53848 = A√B

√53848 = 2√13462

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 53848 to simplify the square root of 53848 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 53848 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 53848 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 53 x 127. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 = 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Divide 53848 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 53848 divided by 4 is 13462. Therefore, B equals 13462.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 53848 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√53848 = A√B

√53848 = 2√13462
