2. A square root radical is in simplest form when the radicand has no _______________.
square factors 32
The radicand is the number
inside he radical symbol
Square factors are: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49,… 22 32 42 52 62 72

3. = = = Look for the biggest squares that are factors:
4 is a factor of 32, but 16 is bigger =
Write them as separate radicals =
You know the square root of 16 =

4. = = = Look for the biggest squares that are factors:
Write them as separate radicals =
You know the square root of 9 =

5. If no square factors jump out at you, see if 4 goes into the number
If no square factors jump out at you, see if 4 goes into the number. If not, try 9, then 25. =
27 has a square in it…..simplify it =
Write them as separate radicals =
You know the square roots of 4&9 =
Multiply the 2 and 3 =

6. =
Write them as separate radicals =
You know the square root of 25 =

7. = 6 and 7 are factors – but they aren’t squares!
This can’t be simplified

8. = = = = = 8 has a square in it…..simplify it
Write them as separate radicals =
You know the square roots of 9&4 =
Multiply the 3 and 2 =
