To find the square root of 96, you can simplify it by breaking it down into prime factors:

96 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3

Now, group the prime factors in pairs:

96 = (2 * 2) * (2 * 2) * 3

Simplifying further:

96 = 4 * 4 * 3

Taking the square root:

√96 = √(4 * 4 * 3)

By splitting the square root:

√96 = √(4 * 4) * √3

Simplifying the square root of 4:

√96 = 4 * √3

Therefore, the square root of 96 is 4√3.
