4sqrt(29)429

Explanation:

First, we look for any perfect squares that could be a factor of sqrt(464)464 by finding factors of 464 that divide in evenly.

464/4 = 1164644=116
464/9 = 51.55554649=51.5555
464/16 = 2946416=29

It seems that 16 will be our highest factor, as it results in an answer of a prime #.

Now, we rework the equation as so:

sqrt(464)464 = sqrt(16*29)1629 = sqrt(16)*sqrt(29)1629

Which simplifies into:

sqrt(16)*sqrt(29)1629 = 4*sqrt(29)429 = 4sqrt(29)429

Final answer: 4sqrt(29)429

4sqrt29429

Explanation:

For questions dealing with factors, roots, HCF and LCM of numbers, a good starting point is to write the number(s) as the product of the prime factors:

464 = 2xx2xx2xx2 xx29464=2×2×2×2×29

Now we know what we are working with!

sqrt464 = sqrt(2^4 xx29)" "larr464=24×29 (index of 2 is even, div2÷2)

= 2^2sqrt29=2229

=4sqrt29=429

2929 is a prime number, so we leave it as sqrt2929, nothing can be done there!
