    This is a revisiting of multiplying square roots and simplifying. However, the numbers in the square roots in this lesson are much larger than before, so a new technique is used to simplify these problems. Instead of multiplying the numbers off the bat, the square roots are first broken down into prime factors and then multiplied and simplified. Problems with numbers as well as variables and exponents are simplified.
