Multiple Choice

In a technical manual for a manufacturing plant, a specialist is documenting the solution for the equation x248=0x^2 - 48 = 0. When simplifying the solution from x=±48x = \pm\sqrt{48} to x=±43x = \pm4\sqrt{3}, the specialist rewrites 163\sqrt{16 \cdot 3} as 163\sqrt{16} \cdot \sqrt{3}. Which mathematical property is the specialist recalling to justify this specific simplification step?
