Given:
Number
![√(96)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/a22xp8ppymunv7d42rpz4ggguf03oh7p1p.png)
To find:
The simplest radical form.
Solution:
Let us first factor 96 using factor tree.
The image of the factor tree is attached below.
96 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2
= 2² × 3 × 2 × 2²
96 = 2² × 6 × 2²
Taking square root on both sides.
![√(96)=√(2^2* 6 * 2^2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/cpcgrphml90o16d9q0558redf35bmi1ae9.png)
![√(96)=√(4* 6 * 4)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/sgos2m1mouvqhf354s9wplb33ydcl0pu3o.png)
![√(96)=\sqrt{4^2* 6](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/4olvty71nx4f51wnb7nzumils5fj71yu19.png)
Square number and square root get canceled.
![√(96)=4√( 6)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/high-school/k79d8dmyqmf0kpwlp1kkxic1vzdf8pr635.png)
