How do you divide radicals by whole numbers?

Answer 1

Without an example I cannot be sure of what you meant, but I'll try.

If you're talking about something like #(√2)/3# than the only way to divide it would be to find the square root of #2# and divide the decimal by #3#. Other than that, you just have to leave it because you cannot combine radicals and whole numbers

To divide radicals by whole numbers, you can simplify the expression by dividing the number inside the radical by the whole number outside the radical.
