Like so much of algebra, it is good to know how to simplify radicals for purposes of canceling out or combining like terms.
Consider the square root of 27 or sqrt(27) there is no whole number that equals sqrt(27) but we can write the radical as sqrt(9*3) and that is equal to 3*sqrt(3)
Thus we have simplified the radical for purposes of mathematical calculation or canceling.
