Sqrt242 can't be simplified anymore. It doesn't contain any perfect squares factors. For instance,

√(150)
This can be simplified because

√(25 * 6)
And 25 is a perfect square, and square root of 25 is 5. The simplified version for this would be 5 sqrt (6). For your question, sqrt 242 can't be simplified anymore, its most simplified version is its current state.

√(242)

= √(121*2)

= √(121) * √(2)

= 11 √(2)

Hope this helps !
