It isn't clear what, exactly, you want to achieve. To write a fraction in standard form, it is customary to leave no radical in the denominator; in this case, for example, if you have square root of 2 in the denominator, you would multiply top and bottom by square root of 2, precisely to get rid of the radical in the denominator.

Rationalise the denominator.
A ration with 2 integers and has a denominator of 0 would be called rational numbers. This is taught in algebra.
No. One of the rules for "simplest form" is that there may be no radical in the denominator. To fix this, multiply top and bottom of the fraction by the radical denominator. For example, ( 1 / √2) = (1 / √2)(√2 / √2) = (√2 / 2)
The rules for "standard radical form" are that (a) there should be no perfect square within the radical sign; for example, square root of 12 is equal to square root of 4 x square root of 3 = 2 x square root of 3, and should be written as the latter; and (b) there should be no radical sign in the denominator. For example, if you have 1 / square root of 2, you multiply top and bottom by the square root of 2, to get a square root in the numerator, but none in the denominator.
denominator
An index in Algebra is the integer n in a radical defining the n-th root
