Question

Go step by step to reduce the radical. The square root of 96

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to reduce the radical. In order to do that, we want to find the factors of 96 that are square numbers

The factors of 96 are:

$1, 96, 2, 48, 3, 32, 4, 24, 6, 16...$

16 is a square number, so we can rewrite

$\sqrt{96} = \sqrt{16*6} = \sqrt{16} * \sqrt{6} = 4\sqrt{6}$
