Do you mean 5\sqrt{60}.2\sqrt2?
5\sqrt{60}.2\sqrt2
5\sqrt{15\times4}.2\sqrt2
5\sqrt{15}\sqrt4.2\sqrt2
5\sqrt{15}(2).2\sqrt2
10\sqrt{15}.2\sqrt2
10\times2\sqrt{15\times2}
20\sqrt{30}
Did that helped? :)

5^60 . 2^2
5√60 · 2√2
Or you could do it like this (if "^" = "√")
5\sqrt {60} \cdot 2 \sqrt{2}
5 \cdot 2 \sqrt {60 \cdot 2}
10\sqrt {2 \cdot 2 \cdot 30}
20\sqrt {30}
Whichever you think is easier to remember.
