How Does Simplifying Radicals Calculator Work?

A radical expression consists of roots of either variables or numbers. These roots could be square roots, cube roots or n^th roots. Let us suppose our radical expression is in the form of a ⁿ√x. Here, 'a' is a constant term and x is in the number under the radical. ⁿ√x denotes that we are dealing with the n^th root of x. The steps to simplify this expression are as follows:

• Step 1: Express the number x as a product of its prime factors.
• Step 2: Start grouping factors that have the same value in powers of n.
• Step 3: The factors that have the power of n can be written outside the radical sign. Once the factor is shifted out of the radical sign its corresponding exponent gets removed.
• Step 4: Now multiply all the factors that have been taken out of the radical sign with 'a'.
• Step 5: Finally, determine the n^th root of the expression left under the radical. Multiply this with the remaining expression to get the final value.

Solved Examples on Simplifying Radicals Calculator

Example 1:

Simplify the radical \(4\sqrt[4]96 \) and verify it using the online radical calculator.

Solution:

Let us write the prime factors of the number within the radical and simplify it further.

\(4\sqrt[4]96 \) = 4\(\sqrt[4]{2\times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3}\)

= 4\(\sqrt[4]{ 2^{4} \times 2 \times 3}\)

= 4 × \(2\sqrt[4]{6}\)

= 8 \(\sqrt[4]{6}\)

\(\sqrt[4]{6}\) = 1.56

\(4\sqrt[4]96 \) = 8 × 1.56 = 12.52

Example 2:

Simplify the radical \(7.2\sqrt[5]3125 \) and verify it using the online radical calculator.

Solution:

Let us write the prime factors of the number within the radical and simplify it further.

\(7.2\sqrt[5]3125 \) = 7.2\(\sqrt[5]{5\times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5}\)

= 7.2\(\sqrt[5]{ 5^{5}}\)

= 7.2 × 5

= 36

\(7.2\sqrt[5]3125 \) = 36.
