√377 = √377

377 has no perfect square factors greater than 1, so √377 is already in simplest radical form (≈ 19.4165, irrational).

Use the calculator above to simplify any square root to its simplest radical form (e.g. √50 = 5√2). See below the step-by-step method using prime factorization, plus a table of common simplified square roots.

Step-by-Step: Simplify √377

To simplify √377, find the largest perfect square that divides 377:

377 = 1 × 377
√377 = √1 × √377
√377 = √377

In decimal form: √377 ≈ 19.4165

Prime factorization: 377 = 13 × 29

Pair the identical primes; each pair contributes one factor outside the radical, and any leftover primes stay inside.

Formula

To rewrite any square root in simplest radical form:

√(a2 · b) = a · √b

Where:

  • a2 = the largest perfect-square factor of the radicand (the number under the √ symbol)
  • b = the remaining squarefree factor (no perfect square divides it other than 1)

Worked example for √72:

  • 72 = 36 × 2 = 62 × 2
  • So a2 = 36, a = 6, b = 2
  • Therefore √72 = 6√2

How to Simplify Square Roots

Simplifying a square root means rewriting it in the simplest radical form, where the number under the radical (the radicand) has no perfect square factors other than 1.

Method: Prime Factorization

  1. Find the prime factorization of the radicand.
  2. Identify pairs of identical prime factors.
  3. Each pair contributes one factor outside the radical.
  4. Any unpaired prime factor stays under the radical.

Example: Simplify √72

  1. 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 23 × 32
  2. We have a pair of 2's, a pair of 3's, and a leftover 2.
  3. Pair of 2's → contributes one 2 outside. Pair of 3's → contributes one 3 outside. Leftover 2 stays inside.
  4. √72 = (2 × 3)√2 = 6√2
