Rationalizing the denominator is the process of rewriting a fraction so that the denominator contains only rational numbers. Various techniques are demonstrated for rationalizing denominators that contain square roots or nth roots, with examples provided. These techniques allow fractions with irrational denominators to be rewritten with rational denominators.
