Here we will show you how to calculate 1 divided by the square root of 5. In fact, we will show you two different ways of calculating 1 divided by √5. We start by displaying the problem we are solving in mathematical terms, as follows:

1 ÷ √5 =

		1
		√5

Method 1
To solve the problem 1 divided by the square root of 5 using this method, we first find the square root of 5, and then we divide 1 by the answer to the square root of 5.

		1
		√5

≈

		1
		2.2360680

		1
		2.2360680

≈ 0.4472136
