1. Start by listing the factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.
2. Group the factors into pairs: (1, 28), (2, 14), and (4, 7).
3. Find the pair where both factors are equal or as close as possible. In this case, it is (4, 7).
4. Take the smaller factor, which is 4, as this will give us a whole number square root.
5. Therefore, the square root of 28 is √28 = √(4 * 7) = √4 * √7 = 2 * √7.
6. The simplified form of the square root of 28 is 2√7.
