Simplify Square Root of 60221

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 60221. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 60221 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.

√60221 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 60221 to simplify the square root of 60221. 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 60221. The factors of 60221 are 1, 7, 49, 1229, 8603, and 60221. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 49 and the square root of 49 is 7. Therefore, A equals 7.

B = Calculate 60221 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 60221. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 60221 is 49. Furthermore, 60221 divided by 49 is 1229, therefore B equals 1229.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 60221 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√60221 = A√B

√60221 = 7√1229

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 60221 to simplify the square root of 60221 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 60221 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 60221 are 7 x 7 x 1229. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 7 x 7 = 49 and the square root of 49 is 7. Therefore, A equals 7.

B = Divide 60221 by the number (A) squared. 7 squared is 49 and 60221 divided by 49 is 1229. Therefore, B equals 1229.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 60221 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√60221 = A√B

√60221 = 7√1229
