Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given number. Let's start by converting the decimal in the exponent to a fraction.
251.5⇔2523
We will split the base into perfect square factors to simplify this fraction. Because the denominator of the exponent is 2, this will allow us to simplify the rational exponent.
