An irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers and cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals.

Can you give me an example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An example would be pi. It is not repeating.

So the answer is when calculate it and if it doesn't repeat then thats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, yeah. Irrational numbers cannot repeat.
