Students pull the largest perfect-square factor out of a square root to write it in simplest radical form. The skill behind the quadratic formula and every radical-expression unit.
List perfect-square factors if the first factorization leaves more work to do. For example, splitting 48 into 16 times 3 gives 4 square roots of 3. Squaring the simplified expression checks that its value is still 48.
