Many times you may need to rationalize the denominator which means there will not be an irrational number as the denominator.
Rationalizing the denominator involves rewriting a fraction so that the denominator is a rational number. This can be done by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by a suitable expression.
For example, to rationalize the denominator of the fraction 1/√2, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by √2:
1/√2 * √2/√2 = √2/√4 = √2/2
Now the denominator is a rational number, 2.
Let's rationalize the denominator of 1/√3
