Simplify term 1:
| √50 | |
| √2 |
Rationalize our term by multiplying the numerator and denominator by √2
| √50 | |
| √2 |
| · |
| √2 |
| √2 |
The denominator is simplified by eliminating our radical sign:
| √50√2 | |
| 2 |
The product of two square roots is the square root of the product:
| √100 | |
| 2 |
From our Square Root Calculator, we see that √100 = 10
Since √100 = 10, our new fraction for term 1 is
| 10 | |
| 2 |
We can reduce 10 and 2
From our GCF Calculator, we see that the highest number that reduces 10 and 2 is 2.
Our numbers reduce as follows: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 and 2 ÷ 2 = 1
