How do you simplify √5984
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 5984. Divide 5984 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 4√374.
