2. Properties of a Square Root How to simplify a square root.  Rewrite the radicand into prime factors.  Only pair(s) of prime factors can be move out of the radical.  Any pair(s) taken out of the radical are multiplied together and written in front of the radical.  Non-pair(s) are left under the radical and multiplied together.

4. Properties of Square Root Expressions How to simplify square roots multiplied together.  Rewrite each number into prime factors.  Find pairs of prime factors and variables to pull out in front of the radical.  All non-pairs get multiplied together under one radical symbol.  All numbers in front of radical are multiplied together, including any coefficients.

5. Properties of Square Root Expressions How to simplify the division of square roots.  Simplify the fraction if possible.  Rewrite the numerator into prime factors.  Rewrite the denominator into prime factors.  If a radical still exists in the denominator, then rationalize.
