What is the Simplify Radicals Calculator & How does it work?
A radical is a mathematical expression that includes a root, such as a square root or cube root. Simplifying radicals involves reducing the expression to its simplest form, where the radicand (the number under the root) has no perfect square factors other than 1.For example, (sqrt{12}) can be simplified to (2sqrt{3}), because 12 has a perfect square factor of 4 (which is 2 squared).
sqrt[n]{a} = b
n = index of the radical, a = radicand, b = simplified result
