Simplify Square Root of 95920

Here we will show you two methods that you can use to simplify the square root of 95920. In other words, we will show you how to find the square root of 95920 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.

√95920 = A√B

Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method
The Greatest Perfect Square Factor Method uses the greatest perfect square factor of 95920 to simplify the square root of 95920. 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 95920. The factors of 95920 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 40, 44, 55, 80, 88, 109, 110, 176, 218, 220, 436, 440, 545, 872, 880, 1090, 1199, 1744, 2180, 2398, 4360, 4796, 5995, 8720, 9592, 11990, 19184, 23980, 47960, and 95920. Furthermore, the greatest perfect square on this list is 16 and the square root of 16 is 4. Therefore, A equals 4.

B = Calculate 95920 divided by the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 95920. We determined above that the greatest perfect square from the list of all factors of 95920 is 16. Furthermore, 95920 divided by 16 is 5995, therefore B equals 5995.

Now we have A and B and can get our answer to 95920 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√95920 = A√B

√95920 = 4√5995

Double Prime Factor Method
The Double Prime Factor Method uses the prime factors of 95920 to simplify the square root of 95920 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 95920 and then take the square root of that product. The prime factors that multiply together to make 95920 are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 11 x 109. 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 95920 by the number (A) squared. 4 squared is 16 and 95920 divided by 16 is 5995. Therefore, B equals 5995.

Once again we have A and B and can get our answer to 95920 in its simplest radical form as follows:

√95920 = A√B

√95920 = 4√5995
