Solution

First, let's simplify the square root of 160.

The prime factorization of 160 is 22222*5.

Grouping the factors in pairs of 2 gives us (22) (2*2)*5.

This simplifies to 445 under the square root.

The square root of 44 is 4, so the square root of 160 simplifies to 4sqrt(5).

So, the original expression becomes 4*sqrt(5) / sqrt(5).

The sqrt(5) in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving us with the simplest radical form: 4.
