Standard Procedure for Simplifying Radical Differences

In a professional technical manual, a variance calculation is represented by the expression 4875\sqrt{48} - \sqrt{75} millimeters. To simplify this for a summary report, you must recall and describe the standard mathematical procedure for combining radicals that do not initially appear to be 'like terms.' Explain the steps required to simplify each radical, how to identify the correct factors, and the rule for performing the final subtraction. Be sure to include the specific perfect square factors used and the final simplified result.
