Find the square roots of the following numbers by Prime factorization method.

4096

Given, a number as 4096. We need to find out the square root using prime factorization method.

Step 1: Resolve the given number into prime factors, we get



2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2


Step 2: Make pairs of equal factors, we get


(2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (2 × 2)


Step 3: Choosing one factor out of every pair, we get


2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2


64


Hence, 64 is the square root of the given number 4096 using prime factorization method
