If not, then it must be.......?

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!

OpenStudy (lopus):

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

@lopus your calculator has 32 digits of precision? I'm jealous...
