sometimes I get expressions with sqrt(n)/n in them where n is positive integer. I'd like Maple to simplify this to 1/sqrt(n).

So sqrt(2)/2 will becomes 1/sqrt(2). I find this simpler.

Here is an example

v:=Vector([1/2, -1/2*sqrt(2), 1/2]);
simplify(v);
simplify(size);
simplify(v,sqrt);
simplify(v,power);

and tried few other things. 

is there a trick to do this? This is the case where all the expression have actual numerical integers in them (not symbolic), just like the above example. These come from numerical examples.
