Start with the given expression

The goal of simplifying expressions with square roots is to factor the radicand into a product of two numbers. One of these two numbers must be a perfect square. When you take the square root of this perfect square, you will get a rational number.
So let's list the factors of 6000
Factors:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 48, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 120, 125, 150, 200, 240, 250, 300, 375, 400, 500, 600, 750, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000, 6000

Notice how 400 is the largest perfect square, so lets factor 6000 into 400*15

Factor 6000 into 400*15

Break up the square roots using the identity

Take the square root of the perfect square 400 to get 20

So the expression simplifies to

Check:
Notice if we evaluate the square root of 6000 with a calculator we get

and if we evaluate we get

This shows that . So this verifies our answer
