Simplify Square Root of 88600

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 88600. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 88600 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.

√88600 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 88600 to simplify the square root of 88600. 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 88600. The factors of 88600 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 200, 443, 886, 1772, 2215, 3544, 4430, 8860, 11075, 17720, 22150, 44300, and 88600. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 100 and the square root of 100 is 10. Therefore, A equals 10.

B = Calculate 88600 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 88600. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 88600 is 100. Furthermore, 88600 divided by 100 is 886, therefore B equals 886.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 88600 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√88600 = A√B

√88600 = 10√886

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 88600 to simplify the square root of 88600 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 88600 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 88600 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 443. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 100 and the square root of 100 is 10. Therefore, A equals 10.

B = Divide 88600 by the number (A) squared. 10 squared is 100 and 88600 divided by 100 is 886. Therefore, B equals 886.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 88600 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√88600 = A√B

√88600 = 10√886
