How else can this be reduced?

6+√24 over 6

I'm sorry the radical sign looks stupid and I couldn't put an underline. Soo over 6 means, all of it over 6

(6+√24) / 6

1 + (√6) / 3 = 1.816

Divide each term by 6 and rewrite √24 as the square root of a product: Then extract the square root of 4 and divide out the common factor of 2 in the numerator and denominator of the second term.

(6 + √24)/6 =
6/6 + [√(4)(6)]/6 =
1 + (2√6)/6 =
1 + (√6)/3

The last line above is your final reduced form short of actually calculating the root. Most texts don't want you to do that, because then you actually get an approximate answer, whereas using the surd actually gets the exact value. It's just expressed in a different form.

6/6 + sqrt(24/6) = 1 + sqrt4 = 3
