Simplifying Square Roots
A radical is in its simplest form when the number under the square root sign (the radicand) has no square factors. For example, √12 can be factored into √4 × √3. Since √4 is exactly 2, the simplified form is 2√3.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if it doesn't simplify?
If the number is prime (like 7) or has no square factors (like 10), it is already fully simplified as √7 or √10.
