integer= 1,2,3,5,6

irrational= $$\sqrt{2}$$, pi..

My calculator says that the root of 2 is 1.4142135623730950488016887242097, but that's not all! In fact continues indefinitely, without repeated numbers.

     Unable to write a fraction that is equal to the square root of 2.

     Thus the root of 2 is an irrational number

lopus · Answer

an irrational is a number that can not be written as a fraction because it has a known sequence.

for example  4= 16/4
