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.
| Prime factor | Times in 260 | Comes out of the root | Stays under the root |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | — |
| 5 | 1 | — | 5 |
| 13 | 1 | — | 13 |
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.
