Question

What is `sqrt106` in simplified radical form?

Answer 1

`sqrt(106)` is already in simplified radical form.

Explanation:

Factoring `106` we find:

`106 = 2*53`

It has no square factors and hence there is no factor we can separate out and bring outside the radical.

We could write:

`sqrt(106) = sqrt(2*53) = sqrt(2)sqrt(53)`

but that is not (usually) considered simplified.
