Simplify Square Root of 56080

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 56080. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 56080 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.

√56080 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 56080 to simplify the square root of 56080. 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 56080. The factors of 56080 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80, 701, 1402, 2804, 3505, 5608, 7010, 11216, 14020, 28040, and 56080. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 56080 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 56080. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 56080 is 16. Furthermore, 56080 divided by 16 is 3505, therefore B equals 3505.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 56080 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√56080 = A√B

√56080 = 4√3505

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 56080 to simplify the square root of 56080 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 56080 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 56080 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 701. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Divide 56080 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 56080 divided by 16 is 3505. Therefore, B equals 3505.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 56080 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√56080 = A√B

√56080 = 4√3505
