Cargo Volume Factorization

In a logistics workshop, an inventory analyst is working with an automated shipping volume formula that contains the radical expression 98a7b5\sqrt{98a^7b^5}. To simplify this formula for a spreadsheet program, the analyst must first identify the largest perfect square factor of each component of the radicand.

Recall and state the largest perfect square factor for each of the following components:

  1. The numeric coefficient 98
  2. The variable factor a7a^7
  3. The variable factor b5b^5

Then, combine these three individual factors into a single, unified perfect square expression.
