Multiply numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate.
1%2F%286%2B5i%29=%281%2F%286%2B5i%29%29%2A%28%286-5i%29%2F%286-5i%29%29
1%2F%286%2B5i%29=%286-5i%29%2F%2836-30i%2B30i-25i%5E2%29
1%2F%286%2B5i%29=%286-5i%29%2F%2836%2B25%29
1%2F%286%2B5i%29=%286-5i%29%2F%2861%29
1%2F%286%2B5i%29=6%2F61-%285%2F61%29i
