The simplified square root of 60 is 2 15 2 1 5 √ .
Hi, Erin. 60 is not a perfect square, so the answer will still include a radical (a square root of some number). We can simplify the square root of any number, though, if the number has any factors that are perfect squares.
Hence, the square root of 6 in simplest form is 2.449. Similarly, we can also calculate the square root of any other whole numbers and their factors.
1 Expert Answer. Since 15 is not a perfect square, the square root of 60 is irrational.
Answer: 60% as a fraction in simplest form is 3/5
Let us look at these three steps below.
In short, the standard abbreviation for square root is sqrt.
There are eight perfect squares between 1 and 100 (i.e., excluding 1 and 100). They are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. However, there are ten perfect squares from 1 to 10. They are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100.
We need to express 60 as the product of its prime factors i.e. 60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5. Therefore, √60 = √2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 2 √15. Thus, the square root of 60 in the lowest radical form is 2 √15.
Since 2/3 is a ratio, 0.66666666... is rational.
It is an irrational algebraic number. The first sixty significant digits of its decimal expansion are: 2.44948974278317809819728407470589139196594748065667012843269.... which can be rounded up to 2.45 to within about 99.98% accuracy (about 1 part in 4800).
