simprad

Simplify radicals.

Simplifies a radical into a multiple of the square root of a prime number. Based on the popular SIMPRAD for TI-BASIC of unknown author. Supports negative numbers and arbitrary roots.

When the input is a nonnegative number, the output will be a Tuple of two real numbersߞthe coefficient and the radicand.
When the input is a negative number, the output will be a Tuple of a complex coefficient and a real radicand.

Use simprad as a module:

from simprad import simprad

print(simprad(50))    # (5, 2)
print(simprad(36))    # (6, 1)
print(simprad(-50))   # (5j, 2)
print(simprad(8, 3))  # (2, 1)

Use simprad as a command line utility:

$ python -m simprad
Radical to simplify: √50
Root [2]: 2
5 × √2
