Rationalize denominator calculator

This calculator removes square roots from the denominator. The calculator rationalizes denominators containing one or two radical terms. For one radical term, the calculator multiplies the numerator and denominator by the square root, for two radical terms, it uses multiplication by the conjugate method. Additionally, the calculator shows all the steps with easy-to-understand explanations.

solution

$$\frac{30}{5\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{5}}=5\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{5}$$

①	Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{5}} $$.
②	Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 30 } \cdot \left( 5 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{30} \cdot 5 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{30} \cdot 3 \sqrt{5} = \\ = 150 \sqrt{3} + 90 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5 \sqrt{3}- 3 \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 5 \sqrt{3} + 3 \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{3}} \cdot 5 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ 5 \sqrt{3}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{5}} \cdot 5 \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{5}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{5} = \\ = 75 + 15 \sqrt{15}- 15 \sqrt{15}-45 $$
③	Simplify numerator and denominator
④	Divide both numerator and denominator by 30.
⑤	Remove 1 from denominator.
