The square root of 8 is 2 square root 2. Then, when you divide by 2 you are left with square root 2. Hope this helps.

Added by jman995x:

While the above answer gives you the quick answer, I wanted to expand upon why the square root of 8 = 2√2 (since I hadn't had algebra in awhile when I went looking for this Q&A, and I'm sure that there are others out there that are thinking..."okay, you're telling me 8 = 2√2, but how did you come to that answer?".

So, I thought I'd take the time to explain it.

√8 is the same as saying √(2 x 4), since 2x4=8, right? [Another way to write it is (√2)x(√4)]

Since the square root of 4 is 2, you can pull that out from under the √ and put it to the left.

Therefore, you have 2√2.

Now, as stated above, you have to divide this by 2, so the 2's in the numerator and the denominator cancel and you're left with √2.

Can 2 divided by 2 square root 3 be simplified?

Yes, the expression 2 divided by 2 square root 3 can be simplified. To simplify this expression, we need to rationalize the denominator. Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator (2 square root 3), we get (2 * 2 square root 3) / (2 * 2 square root 3 * 2 square root 3). This simplifies to 4 square root 3 / 12, which further simplifies to square root 3 / 3.
