The general idea is to make an expression as simple as you can. The details vary, depending on the situation. For example, for a fraction, you wouldn't write a final result as 127 / 254, when you can simplify this to 1/2. For square roots, any square factor should be taken out. Also, it is generally agreed that there should be no square roots in the denominator of a fraction.
