    What is the square root of 260 simplified?

    Answer

    √260 = 2√65

    260 = 4 × 65, and 4 = 2² is the largest perfect square that divides 260, so √260 = √4 × √65 = 2√65. Check: 2√65 ≈ 16.125, the same as √260 ≈ 16.125.

    Simplifying √260 Step by Step

    1. Prime factorization. — All Prime Factors of 260:

    260 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 13 = 22 × 5 × 13

    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.

    √260 = √((2 × 2) × 5 × 13)

    = 2 × √(5 × 13)

    = 2√65

    4. Check by squaring back.

    2² × 65 = 4 × 65 = 260

    FAQ

    What is the square root of 260 simplified?

    √260 = 2√65

    Is 260 a perfect square?

    No. 260 = 4 × 65: its largest perfect square factor is 4 = 2², and the factor 65 stays under the radical, so √260 = 2√65.

    What is √260 as a decimal?

    √260 ≈ 16.125. The decimal never ends and never repeats, so it is always rounded; the exact value is 2√65.

    What is the largest perfect square that divides 260?

    4 = 2². Dividing gives 260 ÷ 4 = 65, and 65 has no square factor left, so √260 = √4 × √65 = 2√65.
