How To Simplify a Radical - Steps

Solve √200

x = multiplication


1. Prime Factorize


√(2 x 5 x 2 x 2 x 5)

2. Find common numbers. Square them. 






3. Solve

After squaring, multiply 2 and 5 together, as they are the 

square roots of 4 and 25. You cannot square 2, so:

√200 = 10√2

This problem is SOLVED!
