I think the problem statement is missing which two of those four fractions are being divided. Could you confirm which quotient you want?

If you meant the first divided by the second, i.e.
(1/(1+√3)) ÷ (√3/4),
then

(1/(1+√3)) · (4/√3) = 4/(√3(1+√3)) = 4/(3+√3).

Rationalizing the denominator:
4/(3+√3) · (3−√3)/(3−√3) = 4(3−√3)/(9−3) = 4(3−√3)/6 = (2/3)(3−√3) = (6−2√3)/3.

If you meant a different quotient, tell me which pair (or give the full expression) and I'll compute it.
