how to simplify 56−−√
To simplify √56, we need to find the largest perfect square that divides evenly into 56. The largest perfect square that divides evenly into 56 is 4.
Therefore, we can simplify √56 as √(4 * 14). Using the property of square roots that says √(a * b) = √a * √b, we can rewrite this as √4 * √14.
√4 equals 2, so our expression simplifies to 2√14.
