T_{r+1}={ }^{256} C_r(\sqrt{3})^{256-r}(\sqrt[8]{5})^r={ }^{256} C_r(3)^{\frac{256-r}{2}}(5)^{r / 8}

Terms would be integral if  and  both are positive integer.

As 0 \leq r \leq 256, \quad \therefore r=0,8,16,24, \ldots . ., 256

For above values of r, \left(\frac{256-r}{2}\right)   is also an integer. 

∴ Total number of values of r = 33.
