Since, the denominator = 2532\sqrt5 - \sqrt3, its rationalizing factor = 25+32\sqrt5 + \sqrt3.

1253=1253×25+325+3=1(25+3)(25)2(3)2=25+3203=25+317\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt5 - \sqrt3} = \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt5 - \sqrt3} \times \dfrac{2\sqrt5 + \sqrt3}{2\sqrt5 + \sqrt3}\\[1em] = \dfrac{1(2\sqrt5 + \sqrt3)}{(2\sqrt5)^2 - (\sqrt3)^2} \\[1em] = \dfrac{2\sqrt5 + \sqrt3}{20 - 3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{2\sqrt5 + \sqrt3}{17}

Hence, 1253=25+317\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt5 - \sqrt3} = \dfrac{2\sqrt5 + \sqrt3}{17}.
