Answer
√188 = 2√47
188 = 4 × 47, and 4 = 2² is the largest perfect square that divides 188, so √188 = √4 × √47 = 2√47. Check: 2√47 ≈ 13.711, the same as √188 ≈ 13.711.
Simplifying √188 Step by Step
1. Prime factorization. — All Prime Factors of 188:
188 = 2 × 2 × 47 = 22 × 47
2. Pair up equal primes. Each pair is a perfect square and comes out of the root as one factor; a prime without a partner stays under the radical.
| Prime factor | Times in 188 | Comes out of the root | Stays under the root |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | — |
| 47 | 1 | — | 47 |
3. Take the pairs out of the root.
√188 = √((2 × 2) × 47)
= 2 × √47
= 2√47
4. Check by squaring back.
