① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{52}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{6} } \cdot \sqrt{52} = 4 \sqrt{78} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{52} } \cdot \sqrt{52} = 52 $$ |
③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 4. |
