Question

Write in simplest radical form: √208

Answer 1

$208:2=104\\104:2=52\\52:2=26\\26:2=13\\13:13=1\\\\208=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot13=2^2\cdot2^2\cdot13\\\\\sqrt{208}=\sqrt{2^2\cdot2^2\cdot13}=\sqrt{2^2}\cdot\sqrt{2^2}\cdot\sqrt{13}=2\cdot2\cdot\sqrt{13}=4\sqrt{13}\\\\Answer:\ \sqrt{208}=4\sqrt{13}\\\\Used:\\\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\\sqrt{a^2}=a$
