Simplify ( square root of 5)/( square root of 48)

$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{48}}$

Step 1

Simplify the denominator.

Rewrite $48$ as $4^{2} \cdot 3$ .

Factor $16$ out of $48$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{16 (3)}}$

Rewrite $16$ as $4^{2}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{4^{2} \cdot 3}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4 \sqrt{3}}$

Step 2

Multiply $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4 \sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4 \sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$

Step 3

Combine and simplify the denominator.

Multiply $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4 \sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 \sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}}$

Move $\sqrt{3}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 (\sqrt{3} \sqrt{3})}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 ({\sqrt{3}}^{1} \sqrt{3})}$

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 ({\sqrt{3}}^{1} {\sqrt{3}}^{1})}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 {\sqrt{3}}^{1 + 1}}$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 {\sqrt{3}}^{2}}$

Rewrite ${\sqrt{3}}^{2}$ as $3$ .

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{3}$ as $3^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 {(3^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 \cdot 3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 \cdot 3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 \cdot 3^{1}}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$\frac{\sqrt{5} \sqrt{3}}{4 \cdot 3}$

Step 4

Simplify the numerator.

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

$\frac{\sqrt{5 \cdot 3}}{4 \cdot 3}$

Multiply $5$ by $3$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{15}}{4 \cdot 3}$

Step 5

Multiply $4$ by $3$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{15}}{12}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$\frac{\sqrt{15}}{12}$

Decimal Form:

$0.32274861 \dots$
