Evaluate 8 square root of 591
Problem
Solution
Identify the number under the radical, which is
591 Check for prime factors to see if the square root can be simplified. We test small prime numbers:
591 is not divisible by2 (it is odd). The sum of the digits is5 + 9 + 1 = 15,w*h*i*c*h*i*s(d(i))*v*i*s(i)*b*l*e*b*y ,s(o) 91i*s(d(i))*v*i*s(i)*b*l*e*b*y $.Divide
591 by3
Check if 197 is prime or has square factors. Testing primes up to
√(,197)≈14 197 is not divisible by2,3,5,7,11, or *13 Therefore,197 is prime.Conclude that since
591=3×197 and neither factor is a perfect square nor contains a perfect square factor, the radical√(,591) cannot be simplified further into integer components.Determine the decimal approximation if required. Since
√(,576)=24 and√(,625)=25 √(,591) is approximately24.31 Multiply the approximation by
8
