Simplify Square Root of 85232

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 85232. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 85232 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.

√85232 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 85232 to simplify the square root of 85232. 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 85232. The factors of 85232 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 56, 112, 761, 1522, 3044, 5327, 6088, 10654, 12176, 21308, 42616, and 85232. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 85232 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 85232. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 85232 is 16. Furthermore, 85232 divided by 16 is 5327, therefore B equals 5327.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 85232 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√85232 = A√B

√85232 = 4√5327

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 85232 to simplify the square root of 85232 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 85232 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 85232 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 761. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Divide 85232 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 85232 divided by 16 is 5327. Therefore, B equals 5327.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 85232 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√85232 = A√B

√85232 = 4√5327
