MATH / If we write √(2)+(1)/(√(2))+√(3)+(1)/(√(3)) in the form (a√(2)+b√(3))/(c) such that a, b, and c are positive integers and c is as small as possible, then what is a+b+c?

problem

If we write 2+12+3+13\sqrt{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \sqrt{3} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} in the form a2+b3c\dfrac{a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{3}}{c} such that aa, bb, and cc are positive integers and cc is as small as possible, then what is a+b+ca+b+c?
