Solution
Resolving 4096 into prime factors:
4096 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors:
4096 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2)
Taking one factor for each pair, we get the square root of 4096:
(2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) = 64
