Square Root Simplifier

Simplify any square root into its simplest radical form — for example, √72 becomes 6√2. Enter a whole number and the simplifier performs a complete prime factorization, groups factor pairs, and extracts perfect squares from under the radical. It identifies perfect squares outright (√144 = 12), handles negative inputs by factoring out i for imaginary results, and shows a decimal approximation alongside the exact form. Every step is displayed so you can learn the method, not just the answer.
