Help me find the radical

Solution

To simplify the expression 725357\sqrt{2535}, we need to find the simplest radical form of 2535\sqrt{2535}.

Steps to simplify 2535\sqrt{2535}:

  1. Factorize 2535:

    2535÷5=5072535 \div 5 = 507 507÷3=169507 \div 3 = 169 169=13×13169 = 13 \times 13

    So, the prime factorization of 2535 is: 2535=5×3×13×132535 = 5 \times 3 \times 13 \times 13

  2. Group the prime factors into pairs:

    25352535 can be written as: 2535=132×5×32535 = 13^2 \times 5 \times 3

  3. Take the square root:

    2535=132×5×3=13×15\sqrt{2535} = \sqrt{13^2 \times 5 \times 3} = 13 \times \sqrt{15}

    So, 2535=1315\sqrt{2535} = 13\sqrt{15}.

  4. Multiply by 7:

    72535=7×1315=91157\sqrt{2535} = 7 \times 13\sqrt{15} = 91\sqrt{15}

Thus, the simplified form of 725357\sqrt{2535} is 911591\sqrt{15}.
