Q. Simplify.\newlineRemove all perfect squares from inside the square root.\newline108\sqrt{108}
  1. Factor 108108 into prime factors: Factor 108108 into its prime factors.\newlineTo simplify the square root of 108108, we first need to factor it into its prime factors.\newline108108 can be factored as follows: 108=2×54=2×2×27=2×2×3×9=22×32×3108 = 2 \times 54 = 2 \times 2 \times 27 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 9 = 2^2 \times 3^2 \times 3.
  2. Identify perfect squares in the prime factorization: Identify and separate the perfect squares from the prime factorization.\newlineFrom the prime factorization 22×32×32^2 \times 3^2 \times 3, we can see that 222^2 and 323^2 are perfect squares.
  3. Take square root of perfect squares and place them outside: Take the square root of the perfect squares and place them outside the square root.\newlineThe square root of 222^2 is 22, and the square root of 323^2 is 33. We can take these outside the square root, leaving the non-perfect square factor inside.\newline108=22×32×3=2×3×3=6×3.\sqrt{108} = \sqrt{2^2 \times 3^2 \times 3} = 2 \times 3 \times \sqrt{3} = 6 \times \sqrt{3}.
