To simplify square roots, think of factors.
45=9%2A5
567 is also a multiple of 9
We know that because the sum of digits of 567 is a multiple of 9:
5%2B6%2B7=18
Dividing we find that 567=9%2A63=9%2A9%2A7



From sqrt%289%2A7%2F5%29 you could get sqrt%289%2A7%2F5%29=sqrt%289%29sqrt%289%29%2Fsqrt%285%29=3sqrt%287%29%2Fsqrt%285%29, but teachers do not like to see square roots in denominators.
