Simplifying a radical means rewriting it so that the number under the root sign (the radicand) contains no perfect square factors (for square roots) other than 1.
Recognizing perfect squares (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100...) is the key to simplifying radicals quickly.
The square root of a product is equal to the product of the square roots: β(a * b) = βa * βb.
Simplify: β50
