We are given the following radical


\sqrt[\square]{208}

Let us simplify the above radical.

We need to break the number 208 into the product of two factors

Notice that 16 and 13 are the two factors (16×13 = 208)

So, the radical becomes


\sqrt[]{208}=\sqrt[]{16\cdot13}=\sqrt[]{16}\cdot\sqrt[]{13}

Since 16 is a perfect square


\sqrt[]{16}\cdot\sqrt[]{13}=4\cdot\sqrt[]{13}

Therefore, the simplified radical is


4\sqrt[]{13}
