Kinda easy
In (2 - 2√37)/6 ,you can see that there are common factor in the numerator and denominator which is 2:
= (2 - ((2)(√37)))/6
So, you can simply divide 2/6 is 1/3, applicable to both terms in the numerator:
= (1 - 1√37)/3
That is how we ended up with (1 - 1√37)/3

there is a common factor of " 2 " in the numerator and denominator...obvious !
2 - 2√37 = 2(1 - √37)
6 = 2 * 3
@ƒ
2 - 2√37 = 2(1 - √37)
6 = 2 * 3

-
the 2's in the numerator factor out
2-2√37
2(1-√37)
then 2/6 reduces
leaving
(1-√37)/3
2-2√37
2(1-√37)
then 2/6 reduces
leaving
(1-√37)/3
