sqrt7sqrt 17

Explanation:

To get the simplest form of sqrt N, express a non-prime N in the

form p_1^(n_1)p_2^(n_2)p_3^(n_3..., where p's are prime numbers.

Here, N = 119 = 7 X 17. S0, sqrt 119 = sqrt 7 X sqrt 17.

For a better understanding, let N = 588 =2237^2#.

Now, sqrt 588 =sqrt(2^2 X 3 X 7^2)=2 X 7 X sqrt 3 = 14 sqrt 3..
