Mathematical concept: Rationalising the denominator

"Rationalising the denominator" is when you move a root (like a square root or cube root) from the bottom of a fraction to the top.




Multiply top and bottom by the square root of 2, because: √2 × √2 = 2

Note: It is ok to have an irrational number in the top (numerator) of a fraction
