Q3 of 81 Page 157

If √x is the rationalising factor of √5, let us write by calculating what is the smallest value of x (where x is an integer)

Given:

As we know, rationalization factor is the factor which make the given irrational number as a rational number.


Hence, smallest rational factor of .


As,


Which is a rational number.
