Simplify Square Root of 88985

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 88985. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 88985 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.

√88985 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 88985 to simplify the square root of 88985. 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 88985. The factors of 88985 are 1, 5, 13, 37, 65, 185, 481, 1369, 2405, 6845, 17797, and 88985. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 1369 and the square root of 1369 is 37. Therefore, A equals 37.

B = Calculate 88985 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 88985. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 88985 is 1369. Furthermore, 88985 divided by 1369 is 65, therefore B equals 65.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 88985 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√88985 = A√B

√88985 = 37√65

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 88985 to simplify the square root of 88985 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 88985 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 88985 are 5 x 13 x 37 x 37. When we strip out the pairs only, we get 37 x 37 = 1369 and the square root of 1369 is 37. Therefore, A equals 37.

B = Divide 88985 by the number (A) squared. 37 squared is 1369 and 88985 divided by 1369 is 65. Therefore, B equals 65.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 88985 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√88985 = A√B

√88985 = 37√65
