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