The square root of 32 is an irrational number, meaning that if you converted it into a decimal point, it would go on forever. It’s something like 5.656854249…
However, you can simplify √32 using common rules of square roots. Primarily, whenever you multiply a square root by another square root, the radicands (the numbers under the bar) will multiply together under one radical.For example, √4 * √5 will equal √20.
Similarly, √32 can be separated into its factors √16 * √2. I used 16 because it is the greatest factor of 32 that is also a perfect square. This means that I am now able to rewrite √16 as 4 since they are equal. Substituting 4 in for √16, I now have 4 * √2, which is √32 when reduced to its simplest radical form.
