Simplify Square Root of 54072

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 54072. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 54072 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.

√54072 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 54072 to simplify the square root of 54072. 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 54072. The factors of 54072 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72, 751, 1502, 2253, 3004, 4506, 6008, 6759, 9012, 13518, 18024, 27036, and 54072. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 36 and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, A equals 6.

B = Calculate 54072 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 54072. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 54072 is 36. Furthermore, 54072 divided by 36 is 1502, therefore B equals 1502.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 54072 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√54072 = A√B

√54072 = 6√1502

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 54072 to simplify the square root of 54072 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 54072 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 54072 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 751. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36 and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, A equals 6.

B = Divide 54072 by the number (A) squared. 6 squared is 36 and 54072 divided by 36 is 1502. Therefore, B equals 1502.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 54072 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√54072 = A√B

√54072 = 6√1502
