To simplify 4/(2√2), you can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives you 2/(√2). To further simplify, you can rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by √2. This results in (2√2)/(√2 * √2), which simplifies to (2√2)/2. Finally, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2, giving you the simplified form of √2.
