Simplify Square Root of 73950

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 73950. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 73950 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.

√73950 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 73950 to simplify the square root of 73950. 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 73950. The factors of 73950 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 17, 25, 29, 30, 34, 50, 51, 58, 75, 85, 87, 102, 145, 150, 170, 174, 255, 290, 425, 435, 493, 510, 725, 850, 870, 986, 1275, 1450, 1479, 2175, 2465, 2550, 2958, 4350, 4930, 7395, 12325, 14790, 24650, 36975, and 73950. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Calculate 73950 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 73950. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 73950 is 25. Furthermore, 73950 divided by 25 is 2958, therefore B equals 2958.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 73950 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√73950 = A√B

√73950 = 5√2958

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 73950 to simplify the square root of 73950 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 73950 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 73950 are 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 17 x 29. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 5 x 5 = 25 and the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, A equals 5.

B = Divide 73950 by the number (A) squared. 5 squared is 25 and 73950 divided by 25 is 2958. Therefore, B equals 2958.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 73950 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√73950 = A√B

√73950 = 5√2958
