SIMPLIFYING A SQUARE ROOT

Simplifying a square root means taking all perfect square factors of the radicand out of the square root.

Assume a² is a perfect square factor of the radicand. This factor can be taken out of the square root by dividing the radicand by a² and multiplying the expression by a.

In the simplest form of a square root, the radicand does not have any squared factors. Squared factors of the radicand can be found by factorizing it. In the prime factorization of the radicand, any factor with an even power is a perfect square. Additionaly, any factor with an odd power greater than 1 can be written as a product of the prime factor with a perfect square. For example, 2⁷ can be written as 2 . 2⁶ where 2⁶ is a perfect square whose square root is equal to 2³.
