What is the square root of 244 simplified?

Answer

√244 = 2√61

244 = 4 × 61, and 4 = 2² is the largest perfect square that divides 244, so √244 = √4 × √61 = 2√61. Check: 2√61 ≈ 15.62, the same as √244 ≈ 15.62.

Simplifying √244 Step by Step

1. Prime factorization. — All Prime Factors of 244:

244 = 2 × 2 × 61 = 22 × 61

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.

3. Take the pairs out of the root.

√244 = √((2 × 2) × 61)

= 2 × √61

= 2√61

4. Check by squaring back.

2² × 61 = 4 × 61 = 244
