Technical Documentation for Radical Simplification

A technical writer for an engineering firm is drafting a standard operating procedure for simplifying complex mathematical expressions. The writer uses the expression 72n7\sqrt{72n^7} to demonstrate how to factor radicals. To complete the 'Initial Analysis' section of the procedure, identify and state the largest perfect square factor of the coefficient 72 and the largest perfect square factor of the variable n7n^7. Additionally, name the specific mathematical property that justifies splitting the radicand into separate factors under their own radical symbols.
