Frequently Asked Questions

A perfect square is a number whose square root is a whole integer. E.g., 36 = 6², so √36 = 6. In prime factorization, every prime factor appears an even number of times (e.g., 36 = 2² × 3²).

72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 2² × 3² × 2. Group pairs: √(2² × 3² × 2) = 2 × 3 × √2 = 6√2. Since one 2 is left unpaired inside, the result is irrational.

A perfect cube has a cube root that is a whole integer. E.g., 125 = 5³, so ∛125 = 5. In prime factorization, every prime appears in a multiple of 3 (e.g., 216 = 2³ × 3³).

54 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2 × 3³. Group triples: ∛(3³ × 2) = 3 × ∛2 = 3∛2. One 2 remains inside, so the result is irrational.

For competitive exams (SSC, IBPS, CAT), memorise squares from 1² to 30² and cubes from 1³ to 10³. This covers 90% of simplification and square-root estimation questions you will encounter.
