SUMMARY
The forum discussion focuses on expanding the fraction \(\frac{1}{\sqrt[n]{2^5}}\) to have a denominator of 2 for natural numbers \(n \geq 2\). The solution involves multiplying the fraction by \(\frac{\sqrt[n]{2^{n-5}}}{\sqrt[n]{2^{n-5}}}\), resulting in \(\frac{\sqrt[n]{2^{n-5}}}{2}\). Participants confirm the correctness of this method, although one notes the unusual nature of the question.
