sqrt 32
.
factors (square) are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ....
.
the largest that will factor into 32 is 16
.
sqrt ( 16*2)
.
but this also equals,,,,sqrt 16*sqrt2,,,or 4*sqrt2,,which is our answer,,,as 2 cannot be factored by a perfect square.
.
to check,,,use a calculator, sqrt 32=5.657,,,4sqrt2=4*1.414= 5.657,,,,,ok
