The expression \( \sqrt{12} \) can be simplified by factoring it into its prime factors.
First, we can express 12 as:
\[
12 = 4 \times 3
\]
Then, we can rewrite the square root:
\[
\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3}
\]
Since \( \sqrt{4} = 2 \), we get:
\[
\sqrt{12} = 2 \sqrt{3}
\]
Therefore, the simplified form of \( \sqrt{12} \) is:
\[
2\sqrt{3}
\]
