Best Answer

To factor a square root you must divide a specific number by another number that is a factor of the specific number. The factor of the specific must also be able to be multiplied by itself to equal the specific number.

x multiplied by x equals y.

For example:

The square root of 144 would be 12 because 12 squared (multiplied by itself) is 144.
