Evaluate the following
√300
Term 1 has a square root, so we evaluate and simplify:
Simplify √300.
Checking square roots, we see that
172 = 289 and 182 = 324
Our answer in decimal format is between 17 and 18
Our answer is not an integer
Simplify it into the product of an integer and a radical.
We do this by listing each product combo of 300
Check for integer square root values below:
√300 = √1√300
√300 = √2√150
√300 = √3√100
√300 = √4√75
√300 = √5√60
√300 = √6√50
√300 = √10√30
√300 = √12√25
√300 = √15√20
From that list, the highest factor with an integer square root is 100
Therefore, we use the product combo √300 = √100√3
Evaluating square roots, we see that √100 = 10
Simplifying our product of radicals, we get our answer:
Group square root terms for 10
10√3
Final Answer:
10√3

How does the Square Roots and Exponents Calculator work?
Free Square Roots and Exponents Calculator - Given a number (n), or a fraction (n/m), and/or an exponent (x), or product of up to 5 radicals, this determines the following:
* The square root of n denoted as √n
* The square root of the fraction n/m denoted as √n/m
* n raised to the xth power denoted as nx (Write without exponents)
* n raised to the xth power raised to the yth power denoted as (nx)y (Write without exponents)
* Product of up to 5 square roots: √a√b√c√d√e
* Write a numeric expression such as 8x8x8x8x8 in exponential form
