Simplify Square Root of 87588

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 87588. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 87588 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.

√87588 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 87588 to simplify the square root of 87588. 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 87588. The factors of 87588 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 27, 36, 54, 108, 811, 1622, 2433, 3244, 4866, 7299, 9732, 14598, 21897, 29196, 43794, and 87588. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 36 and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, A equals 6.

B = Calculate 87588 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 87588. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 87588 is 36. Furthermore, 87588 divided by 36 is 2433, therefore B equals 2433.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 87588 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√87588 = A√B

√87588 = 6√2433

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 87588 to simplify the square root of 87588 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 87588 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 87588 are 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 811. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36 and the square root of 36 is 6. Therefore, A equals 6.

B = Divide 87588 by the number (A) squared. 6 squared is 36 and 87588 divided by 36 is 2433. Therefore, B equals 2433.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 87588 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√87588 = A√B

√87588 = 6√2433
