Theoretical description

Roots represent another form of writing numbers in fractional (rational) power. This means the following expressions are equivalent

xm = xm/n

If n = 2, this index does not appear in the root but it is implied. We call it the square root of the number. On the other hand, when the index n = 3, we are dealing with the cubic root of the given number.

For example,

26 = 26/3
= 22
= 4

This result could have been obtained in a different way:

26 = 64 = 4

This is true because 43 = 64.

The following rules are applied when multiplying and dividing two roots:

If the two roots have the same index (n1 = n2 = n), then

xy = x ∙ y

and

x/y = x/y

This is true because

xy = x1/n ∙ y1/n = (x ∙ y)1/n = x ∙ y

and

x/y = x1/n/y1/n = (x/y)1/n = x/y

For example,

827 = 8 ∙ 27 = 216 = 6 because 63 = 216

Indeed,

8 = 2 and 27 = 3

Thus,

827 = 2 ∙ 3 = 6

Another example,

64/8 = 64/8 = 8 = 2 because 23 = 8

Indeed,

64 = 4 and 8 = 2

Thus,

64/8 = 4/2 = 2

If the two roots have the same index (n1 = n2 = n), then

xayb = xa ∙ yb

and

xa/yb = xa/yb

This is true because

xayb = xa/n ∙ yb/n = (xa ∙ yb )1/n = xa ∙ yb

and

xa/yb = xa/n/yb/n = xa/yb1/n = xa/yb

For example, if n = 2, then

24 ∙ √43 = √24 ∙ 43 = √16 ∙ 64 = √1024 = 32

Indeed,

24 = √16 = 4 and √43 = √64 = 8

Thus,

24 ∙ √43 = 4 ∙ 8 = 32

Another example,

106/54 = √106/54 = √1,000,000/625 = √1600 = 40

Indeed,

106 = √1,000,000 = 1000 and √54 = √625 = 25

Thus,

106/54 = 1000/25 = 40

If the two roots have different indices m and n (m ≠ n), then

xayb = xan ∙ ybm

This is true because

xayb = xa/m ∙ yb/n = xan/mn ∙ ybm/mn = (xan ∙ ybm )1/mn = xan ∙ ybm

and

xa/yb = xan/ybm

This is true because

xa/yb = xa/m/yb/n = xan/mn/ybm/mn = (xan/ybm)1/mn = xan/ybm

For example,

56 ∙ √28 = 3 ∙ 256 ∙ 2 ∙ 28 ∙ 3
= 512 ∙ 224
= 244,140,625 ∙ 16,777,216
= 4,096,000,000,000,000
= 400

Indeed,

56 = 56/3 = 52 = 25 and √(28 ) = 28/2 = 24 = 16

Thus,

56 ∙ √(28 ) = 25 ∙ 16 = 400

Another example,

45/1003 = 10 ∙ 645 ∙ 6/1003 ∙ 10
= 430/10030
= (4/100)30
= 430/60/10030/60
= 41/2/1001/2
= 4/100
= 2/10

Indeed,

45 = 45/10 = 41/2 = √4 = 2 and 1003 = 1003/6 = 1001/2 = √100 = 10

Thus,

45/1003 = 2/10

Obviously, you don't have to make all these calculations. You just have to insert the numbers and the calculator will calculate the result automatically.
