so you find pairs of factors and gropu factor 96 96=2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 group pairs of same numbers 96=(2 times 2) times (2 times 2) times 2 times 3 so now √96=[tex] \sqrt{(2 times 2) times (2 times 2) times 2 times 3} [/tex]=[tex] 2 times 2\sqrt{2 times 3} [/tex]=[tex] 4\sqrt{6} [/tex]
