What is the square root of 60 simplified?
Answer
√60 = 2√15
60 = 4 × 15, and 4 = 2² is the largest perfect square that divides 60, so √60 = √4 × √15 = 2√15. Check: 2√15 ≈ 7.746, the same as √60 ≈ 7.746.
Simplifying √60 Step by Step
1. Prime factorization. — All Prime Factors of 60:
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 22 × 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 60 | Comes out of the root | Stays under the root |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 | 2 | — |
| 3 | 1 | — | 3 |
| 5 | 1 | — | 5 |
3. Take the pairs out of the root.
√60 = √((2 × 2) × 3 × 5)
= 2 × √(3 × 5)
= 2√15
4. Check by squaring back.
2² × 15 = 4 × 15 = 60
