We have to find the square root of 60 in the radical form
Step 1 Prime factorizing given number
The first step is to divide 60 by the smallest prime factor, say 2, and then by other factors until we arrive at 1.
60 ÷ 2 = 30 30 ÷ 2 = 15 15 ÷ 3 = 5 5 ÷ 5 = 1
So
60=2×2×3×5
Step 2 Finding square root by pairing the factors
60 = ( 2 × 2 ) × 3 × 5 60 = 2 3 × 5 60 = 2 15
Therefore, the square root of 60 is 2 15
