Simplify Square Root of 60258

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 60258. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 60258 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.

√60258 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 60258 to simplify the square root of 60258. 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 60258. The factors of 60258 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66, 83, 121, 166, 242, 249, 363, 498, 726, 913, 1826, 2739, 5478, 10043, 20086, 30129, and 60258. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 121 and the square root of 121 is 11. Therefore, A equals 11.

B = Calculate 60258 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 60258. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 60258 is 121. Furthermore, 60258 divided by 121 is 498, therefore B equals 498.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 60258 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√60258 = A√B

√60258 = 11√498

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 60258 to simplify the square root of 60258 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 60258 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 60258 are 2 x 3 x 11 x 11 x 83. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 11 x 11 = 121 and the square root of 121 is 11. Therefore, A equals 11.

B = Divide 60258 by the number (A) squared. 11 squared is 121 and 60258 divided by 121 is 498. Therefore, B equals 498.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 60258 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√60258 = A√B

√60258 = 11√498
