How to use this tool?
This calculator simplifies square roots to their simplest radical form. It works with non-negative integers.
- Enter the radicand – Type a non-negative integer (e.g.,
72) or an expression likesqrt(72)into the input field. Variables are not supported. - Click "Simplify" (or press Enter) to compute the result.
- Read the result – The simplified radical appears in the green box (e.g.,
6√2for √72). - Review the steps – Below the result, a step-by-step explanation shows how perfect square factors were extracted.
Example: Enter 72 → Output: 6√2 with steps: "Factor out 6²: 6√2."
Note: Only square roots (√) are supported. The input must be a non-negative integer; negative numbers or variables will show an error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simplest radical form is a way to express a square root where the radicand has no perfect square factors other than 1. For example, √72 simplifies to 6√2.
Enter a non-negative integer or an expression like 'sqrt(72)' in the input field and click 'Simplify'. The calculator will factor out perfect squares and show the simplified result.
Currently, only non-negative integers are supported. Variables like x are not supported.
