Certainly! Simplifying a square root involves finding the largest perfect square factor of the number under the root and simplifying it.

General Process to Simplify a Square Root:

1. Factor the number into its prime factors.
2. Identify perfect square factors (like 4, 9, 16, etc.).
3. Take the square root of the perfect square part and leave the rest inside the square root.

Examples:

1. $\sqrt{50}$

   • Factor 50: $50 = 25 \times 2$
   • $\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}$

2. $\sqrt{72}$

   • Factor 72: $72 = 36 \times 2$
   • $\sqrt{72} = \sqrt{36 \times 2} = \sqrt{36} \times \sqrt{2} = 6\sqrt{2}$

3. $\sqrt{18}$

   • Factor 18: $18 = 9 \times 2$
   • $\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \times 2} = \sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{2}$

4. $\sqrt{32}$

   • Factor 32: $32 = 16 \times 2$
   • $\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \times 2} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}$

5. $\sqrt{75}$

   • Factor 75: $75 = 25 \times 3$
   • $\sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 \times 3} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}$
