Mathematical Properties in Radical Simplification

A technical writer is creating a reference guide for industrial apprentices that explains how to simplify complex radicals such as 72n7\sqrt{72n^7}. In the guide, the writer explains that the expression 36n62n\sqrt{36n^6 \cdot 2n} can be rewritten as 36n62n\sqrt{36n^6} \cdot \sqrt{2n}. What is the official name of the mathematical property that justifies splitting the radical into two separate parts?
