How To Divide By Radicals?

Rewrite the division as a fraction

Simplify the radicals if possible

Rationalize the denominator if it contains a radical

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the radical needed to remove the radical from the denominator

Use the product rule for radicals: (sqrt{a}sqrt{b}=sqrt{ab})

Simplify the resulting expression

If both numerator and denominator contain radicals, factor and cancel common radical factors when possible

For cube roots and higher roots, multiply by the factor needed to make the denominator a perfect power

Reduce the final answer to simplest form
