Simplify Square Root of 56816

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 56816. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 56816 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.

√56816 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 56816 to simplify the square root of 56816. 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 56816. The factors of 56816 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 53, 67, 106, 134, 212, 268, 424, 536, 848, 1072, 3551, 7102, 14204, 28408, and 56816. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 56816 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 56816. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 56816 is 16. Furthermore, 56816 divided by 16 is 3551, therefore B equals 3551.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 56816 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√56816 = A√B

√56816 = 4√3551

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 56816 to simplify the square root of 56816 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 56816 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 56816 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 53 x 67. 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 56816 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 56816 divided by 16 is 3551. Therefore, B equals 3551.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 56816 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√56816 = A√B

√56816 = 4√3551
