How to Calculate Square Roots of Fractions Easily

Now let's tackle fractions with non-perfect squares under the radical.Let's analyze our example: the square root of three over eight.First, we break down the denominator eight into its prime factors.We can group pairs of twos to identify perfect squares.This gives us four times two in the denominator.Now we can split the square root between numerator and denominator.Finally, we simplify the square root of eight to two times the square root of two.Let's verify our answer using a calculator.Let's try another example: the square root of five over eighteen.Let's review the key points for handling non-perfect squares.Thanks for learning about non-perfect squares with Spark.E!
