1. To determine this, you must determine all the factors of 24:
(1,24)
(2,12)
(3,8)
(4,6)
2. Then, examine the factors to see if any of the factors are perfect square factors
(4,6) = 4 is the only perfect square factor
3. Evaluate the problem √24 = √6 * √4
√6 cannot be simplified to any more perfect squares√
√4 can be simplified to 2
4. Therefore, √24 can be simplified to 2√6
