1 is a perfect square and divides 5120
4 is a perfect square and divides 5120
16 is a perfect square and divides 5120
64 is a perfect square and divides 5120
256 is a perfect square and divides 5120
1024 is a perfect square and divides 5120

Step 3: Divide To Perfect Square

Divide 5120 by the largest perfect square you found in the previous step:

Step 4: Calculate The Square Root

Calculate the square root of the largest perfect square:

Final Step :

Put Steps 3 and 4 together to get the square root of 5120 in its simplest form: 32√5

How do you simplify √5120

The general approach is to first check if it is a perfect square. If so, you have the answer. If it is not a perfect square, see if any of its factors are perfect squares, or can be combined to make square numbers.

Find the lowest prime number that can divide 5120. Divide 5120 repeatedly using the long division method till you reach 1.

A pair of factor 'twins' under a square root sign (radical) form a single factor outside of it.

Factors that do not have a twin remain under the radical. Multiply them back together and leave them in there.

So, the answer is 32√5.
