Simplify Square Root of 62951

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 62951. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 62951 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.

√62951 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 62951 to simplify the square root of 62951. 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 62951. The factors of 62951 are 1, 7, 17, 23, 119, 161, 391, 529, 2737, 3703, 8993, and 62951. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 529 and the square root of 529 is 23. Therefore, A equals 23.

B = Calculate 62951 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 62951. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 62951 is 529. Furthermore, 62951 divided by 529 is 119, therefore B equals 119.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 62951 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√62951 = A√B

√62951 = 23√119

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 62951 to simplify the square root of 62951 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 62951 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 62951 are 7 x 17 x 23 x 23. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 23 x 23 = 529 and the square root of 529 is 23. Therefore, A equals 23.

B = Divide 62951 by the number (A) squared. 23 squared is 529 and 62951 divided by 529 is 119. Therefore, B equals 119.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 62951 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√62951 = A√B

√62951 = 23√119
