Understanding Radical Simplification

Radical simplification is the process of rewriting a radical expression in its simplest form. This usually involves removing perfect square factors from under the radical sign (square root).

For example, to simplify √72, we look for perfect square factors of 72. We know that 36 is a perfect square (6x6=36) and 72 = 36 x 2. So, √72 can be written as √(36 x 2) = √36 x √2 = 6√2. Thus, the simplified form of √72 is 6√2.

This tool helps you simplify any non-negative integer radicand. Simply enter the number and let the tool do the rest! It breaks down the steps to make it easy to understand.
