This expression cannot be simplified further.

Explanation:

You look for perfect squares that can go inside this number. The perfect squares are : 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36... it continues infinitely but since we have already passed the desired number of 30, I will stop here.

1 does not count since you are just dividing by 1, which is basically the same as doing nothing.

Since 4, 9, 16, 25 are not factors of 30, or any other perfect square, this expression cannot be simplified further.
