sqrt(128)

#2
+5553
+4

We want to split 128 into it's prime factors.

$$\sqrt{128}=\sqrt{2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot2}$$

Then we can rewrite this as:

$$=\sqrt{2\cdot2}\cdot\sqrt{2\cdot2}\cdot\sqrt{2\cdot2}\cdot\sqrt2$$

Now..replace each  $$\sqrt{2\cdot2}$$   with 2

$$=2\cdot2\cdot2\cdot\sqrt2$$

Multiply the numbers outside the radical together.

$$=8\cdot\sqrt2 \\~\\ =8\sqrt2$$
