sqrt(65/7)/[2sqrt(2)] I know how to simplfy radicals but this one has me stuck. I tried to answer it and i got sqrt(65)/[2*sqrt(2)] is this right?

A radical is a mathematical symbol, represented by √, that indicates the square root of a number.
To simplify a radical expression, you need to find the largest perfect square that is a factor of the number inside the radical. Then, you can take the square root of that perfect square and move it outside of the radical sign.
The first step in simplifying this expression is to break down the numbers under the radical sign into their prime factors. This will help identify the perfect squares that can be taken out.
After breaking down the numbers into prime factors, the next step is to group the factors in pairs, with one number inside the radical and one number outside the radical. This will help identify the perfect squares that can be taken out.
A radical expression is considered simplified when there are no more square roots or other radicals inside the radical sign, and all perfect squares have been taken out and simplified.
