1.
125/√14
= 125/√14 * √14/√14
= 125√14/14 , mmmhhh?

2.

True for √(any perfect square)

If I multiply something by √4/√4 or 2/2
I would simply be doubling the denominator (and the numerator)
So if the denominator contained a radical, doubling it does not make it real
( if √a is irrational, then 2√a is also irrational)

If the denominator had been √4 to begin with, then it would have been a real number anyway , and there would not have been any reason to rationalize it.
