What is a Square Root?

In mathematics, a square root of a number x is a number y such that y2 = x

For example, 16 are square root of 256, because 162 = 256.

Square root of 400 = 20, because 202 = 400.

To calculate the cube root, use the Cube Roots Calculator.

The square root is denoted by the symbol √

For example, square root of 9 denoted as √9.

Perfect Square Calculator

A perfect square is an integer that is the product of some integer with itself.

For example, 1, 4, 9, 25, 100 and 121 are perfect squares while 3, 5, 12, 23 and 53 are not.

25 is a perfect square because 5 * 5 = 52 = 25.

75 is a not perfect square because it cannot be expressed as the product of two same integers.

Simplify Square Roots

For exampe, let’s simplify square root of 75. To do this, remove all full squares inside the square root.

  1. Factorize the number: 75 = 5 * 5 * 3 = 25 * 3.
  2. Using the square root rule \sqrt{ab} = \sqrt{a} * \sqrt{b}, we get \sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 * 3} = \sqrt{25} * \sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}

Simplify square root of 72.

72 = 6 * 6 * 2 = 36 * 2

\sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36 * 2} = \sqrt{36} * \sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2} \approx{8.48528}

Simplify the square root of 48.

48 = 16 * 3

\sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 * 3} = \sqrt{16} * \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3} \approx{6.9282}
