Key Concept Explanation
When dividing two radicals with the same index, the index remains unchanged. The quotient of the numerator’s radicand and the denominator’s radicand becomes the new radicand; the quotient of the numerators’ coefficients and the denominators’ coefficients becomes the new coefficient. Additionally, the radicand should be simplified if possible.
