Math Problem Statement

Simplify the square root of 200 and list its factors.

Solution

The image contains a square root problem involving the square root of 200, as well as instructions asking for a list of all factors involved. Let's break down the problem step-by-step:

Problem: Simplify 200\sqrt{200}.

Step 1: Factorize 200

To simplify the square root, we need to find the factors of 200. Here is the prime factorization of 200:

200=23×52200 = 2^3 \times 5^2

Step 2: Simplify the Square Root

Now, apply the square root to the factors of 200:

200=23×52=23×52\sqrt{200} = \sqrt{2^3 \times 5^2} = \sqrt{2^3} \times \sqrt{5^2}

200=2×5×2=102\sqrt{200} = 2 \times 5 \times \sqrt{2} = 10\sqrt{2}

Thus, the simplified form of 200\sqrt{200} is:

102\boxed{10\sqrt{2}}
