Square root of 26 minus square root of 5 (√26-√5)

√26 - √5

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 26 and the square root of 5. Essentially, we will calculate √26 - √5.

First, we need to find the square root of each number individually. Then we will subtract one from the other. Below is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate the square root of 26:
√26 ≈ 5.09902

2. Calculate the square root of 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

3. Subtract the square root of 5 from the square root of 26:
5.09902 - 2.23607 = 2.86295

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 5 from the square root of 26 is approximately 2.86295.

√26 - √5 ≈ 2.86295

To make things even more convenient, we have also expressed the result in its simplest radical form:
