Question 164459
-7 SQRT 242
--------
All you can do with this is simplify it some.
-7*sqrt(242) = -7*sqrt(2)*sqrt(121)
= -7*11*sqrt(2)
= -77*sqrt(2)
All this gets you is a smaller number under the radical.  That might have been useful before the advent of calculators and computers, but it's irrelevant now.  However, it is to a person's benefit to know how to do these things.
