Simplify Square Root of 75940

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 75940. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 75940 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.

√75940 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 75940 to simplify the square root of 75940. 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 75940. The factors of 75940 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 3797, 7594, 15188, 18985, 37970, and 75940. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Calculate 75940 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 75940. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 75940 is 4. Furthermore, 75940 divided by 4 is 18985, therefore B equals 18985.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 75940 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√75940 = A√B

√75940 = 2√18985

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 75940 to simplify the square root of 75940 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 75940 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 75940 are 2 x 2 x 5 x 3797. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 = 4 and the square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, A equals 2.

B = Divide 75940 by the number (A) squared. 2 squared is 4 and 75940 divided by 4 is 18985. Therefore, B equals 18985.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 75940 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√75940 = A√B

√75940 = 2√18985
