What is the simplest radical form of the square root of 196?

Answer 1

196^(1/2) = 14

or

196^(0.5) = 14

Since 196 is an even number it will divide by '2'

Hence

2)196

2)98

7)49

7)7 = 1

Reduce to '1'

Hence

2 x 2 x 7 x 7 = 2^(2) x 7^(2) = (2 x 7)^(2) square rooting both numbers.

[(2 x 7)^(2)]^(1/2) = [2 x 7]^(2/2) = [2 x 7 ] ^(1) = (2 x 7) = 14

Answer 2

14, -14

Answer 3

It is ±14.
