Full solution

Q. Simplify.\newlineRemove all perfect squares from inside the square root.\newline72\sqrt{72}
  1. Factor 7272 into prime factors: Factor 7272 into its prime factors.\newline7272 can be factored into 2×362 \times 36, where 3636 is a perfect square (6×66 \times 6).\newlineSo, 72=2×2×2×3×372 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3.
  2. Group prime factors into perfect squares: Group the prime factors into pairs of perfect squares.\newlineFrom the prime factorization, we can group the factors as follows: (2×2)×(3×3)×2(2 \times 2) \times (3 \times 3) \times 2.
  3. Simplify square root by taking out perfect squares: Simplify the square root by taking out the perfect squares.\newlineThe square root of a perfect square is the number itself, so we take the square root of each pair:\newline72=(2×2)×(3×3)×2=2×3×2=6×2\sqrt{72} = \sqrt{(2 \times 2) \times (3 \times 3) \times 2} = 2 \times 3 \times \sqrt{2} = 6 \times \sqrt{2}.
