Here we will show you how to calculate 2 divided by the square root of 5. In fact, we will show you two different ways of calculating 2 divided by √5. We start by displaying the problem we are solving in mathematical terms, as follows:

2 ÷ √5 =

		2
		√5

Method 1
To solve the problem 2 divided by the square root of 5 using this method, we first find the square root of 5, and then we divide 2 by the answer to the square root of 5.

		2
		√5

≈

		2
		2.2360680

		2
		2.2360680
