Why can I simplify radicals? (eg, sqrt153=sqrt3cdotsqrt3cdotsqrt17)

I know it might sound like a ridiculously easy question to answer, but I just can't put two and two together for some reason.




Say for example you have:
153
You can break it down to
3317
(and of course you can further simplify it, but we'll just leave it at that for now).



Why can I do that?
