What is the square root of 480 simplified?
Answer
√480 = 4√30
480 = 16 × 30, and 16 = 4² is the largest perfect square that divides 480, so √480 = √16 × √30 = 4√30. Check: 4√30 ≈ 21.909, the same as √480 ≈ 21.909.
Simplifying √480 Step by Step
1. Prime factorization. — All Prime Factors of 480:
480 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 25 × 3 × 5
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 480 | Comes out of the root | Stays under the root |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 5 | 22 | 2 |
| 3 | 1 | — | 3 |
| 5 | 1 | — | 5 |
3. Take the pairs out of the root.
√480 = √((2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × 2 × 3 × 5)
= 2 × 2 × √(2 × 3 × 5)
= 4√30
4. Check by squaring back.
4² × 30 = 16 × 30 = 480
