Simplify Square Root of 68204

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 68204. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 68204 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.

√68204 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 68204 to simplify the square root of 68204. 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 68204. The factors of 68204 are 1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 59, 68, 118, 236, 289, 578, 1003, 1156, 2006, 4012, 17051, 34102, and 68204. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 1156 and the square root of 1156 is 34. Therefore, A equals 34.

B = Calculate 68204 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 68204. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 68204 is 1156. Furthermore, 68204 divided by 1156 is 59, therefore B equals 59.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 68204 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√68204 = A√B

√68204 = 34√59

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 68204 to simplify the square root of 68204 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 68204 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 68204 are 2 x 2 x 17 x 17 x 59. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 17 x 17 = 1156 and the square root of 1156 is 34. Therefore, A equals 34.

B = Divide 68204 by the number (A) squared. 34 squared is 1156 and 68204 divided by 1156 is 59. Therefore, B equals 59.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 68204 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√68204 = A√B

√68204 = 34√59
