Learn how to rewrite square roots (and expressions containing them) so there's no perfect square within the square root. For example, rewrite √75 as 5⋅√3.

Your first step is to think what perfect square divides into 72. People usually look for the greatest one, but it really doesn't matter because you can keep taking factors out.

When I look at Simplifying Square Roots, it reminds me a lot of Prime factorization. In fact, I have been following along with these videos on Simplifying Square Roots, using the same method …

Simplify. Multiply and remove all perfect squares from inside the square roots. Assume a is positive.

A worked example of simplifying radical with a variable in it. In this example, we simplify 3√ (500x³). Created by Sal Khan and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education.

Worked examples of taking expressions with square roots and taking all of the perfect squares out of the square roots. For example, 2√ (7x)⋅3√ (14x²) can be written as 42x√ (2x).

In this unit, we review exponent rules and learn about higher-order roots like the cube root (or 3rd root). We'll learn how to calculate these roots and simplify algebraic expressions with radicals.

We can simplify the √ (1/200) by finding perfect squares that are factors of 200. We could either look directly for the largest perfect square factor or break 200 into smaller factors and find …
