How to Divide a Radical by a Radical?

Use the quotient rule for radicals: (sqrt[n]{a} div sqrt[n]{b} = sqrt[n]{frac{a}{b}}), where (b neq 0)

Divide the numbers inside the radicals

Simplify the resulting radical if possible

If needed, rationalize the denominator

For square roots, (sqrt{a} div sqrt{b} = sqrt{frac{a}{b}})

For different indices, rewrite the radicals with a common index first

Check that all expressions are defined before simplifying
