$\"%282sqrt%286%29%29%2F%28sqrt%2872%29%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Start multiplying numerator and denominator by 4:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%282sqrt%286%29%29%2F%28sqrt%2872%29%2F4%29%29+%2A+%284%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%288sqrt%286%29%29%2F%28sqrt%2872%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, factor the stuff under the radical:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%288sqrt%282%2A3%29%29%2F%28sqrt%282%2A2%2A2%2A3%2A3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Pull out \"pairs\" from underneath the radical:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%288sqrt%282%2A3%29%29%2F%282%2A3%29%28sqrt%282%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%288sqrt%282%2A3%29%29%2F6%28sqrt%282%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%284sqrt%282%2A3%29%29%2F3sqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We can also break up the radical in the numerator thus:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%284sqrt%282%29sqrt%283%29%29%2F3sqrt%282%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Canceling like-terms:
