Note that

 

sqrt (245)  =  sqrt  ( 49 * 5)  =  7sqrt (5)     and

 

3sqrt (125)  = 3 sqrt  ( 25 * 5 )   =  15 sqrt (5)  

 

So....the denominator  is  just      7sqrt (5)  +  15sqrt (5) + 4sqrt (5)  = 26sqrt (5)

 

So  we have

 

  6                             3             sqrt (5)                 3sqrt (5)

_________   =   _________  _______     =    ____________

26sqrt (5)              13sqrt (5)   sqrt (5)                    65

245=75

3125=155

 

This means the denominator can be simplified to:

(7+15+4)5=265

 

Which means the entire fraction is:
6265=3135=3565
