88

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Find the prime factorization of 7744.

    Divide 7744 by the smallest prime numbers until the quotient is 1.

    7744÷2=38723872÷2=19361936÷2=968968÷2=484484÷2=242242÷2=121121÷11=1111÷11=1\begin{align*} 7744 \div 2 &= 3872 \\ 3872 \div 2 &= 1936 \\ 1936 \div 2 &= 968 \\ 968 \div 2 &= 484 \\ 484 \div 2 &= 242 \\ 242 \div 2 &= 121 \\ 121 \div 11 &= 11 \\ 11 \div 11 &= 1 \end{align*}

    So, the prime factorization of 7744 is 2×2×2×2×2×2×11×112 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 11 \times 11.

  2. Group the prime factors into pairs.

    7744=(2×2)×(2×2)×(2×2)×(11×11)7744 = (2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2) \times (11 \times 11)
  3. Take one factor from each pair and multiply them to find the square root.

    7744=2×2×2×11\sqrt{7744} = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 11 7744=8×11\sqrt{7744} = 8 \times 11 7744=88\sqrt{7744} = 88

    The square root of 7744 is 88\boxed{88}.
