An irrational number is a real number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers. In other words, it can't be written as a fraction where the numerator and denominator are both integers. Irrational numbers often show up as non-terminating, non-repeating decimals.

So if we think about the interval between 0 and 1, we know that there are irrational numbers there. In fact, one of them that might pop out at you is 1 over the square root of 2, which is the same thing as the square root of 2 over 2, is equal-- I shouldn't say equal, is roughly, is approximately equal to 0.70710678118.
6 maj 2014 · 0 < bnζ(3) − an = O(βn), with β = (1 − √2)4e3 < 1. See examples 1 and 2 for proofs of the irrationality of √2 and e in this entry of The Tricky. To prove that a number is irrational, show that it is almost rational. Loosely speaking, if you can approximate α well by rationals, then α is irrational.
The following is a “proof” that one equals zero. Consider two non-zero numbers x and y such that. x = y. Then x 2 = xy. Subtract the same thing from both sides: x 2 – y 2 = xy – y 2 . Dividing by (x-y), obtain x + y = y. Since x = y, we see that 2 y = y. Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero. Subtracting 1 from both sides, 1 = 0.
Learn the difference between rational and irrational numbers, learn how to identify them, and discover why some of the most famous numbers in mathematics, like Pi and e, are actually irrational. Did you know that there's always an irrational number between any two rational numbers?
Irrational numbers arise in many circumstances in mathematics. Examples include the following: The hypotenuse of a right triangle with base sides of length 1 has length \( \sqrt{2}\), which is irrational. More generally, \( \sqrt{D}\) is irrational for any integer \( D\) that is not a perfect square.
The best known of all irrational numbers is \(\sqrt{2}\). We establish \(\sqrt{2} \ne \dfrac{a}{b}\) with a novel proof which does not make use of divisibility arguments. Suppose \(\sqrt{2} = \dfrac{a}{b}\) (\(a\), \(b\) integers), with \(b\) as small as possible. Then \(b < a < 2b\) so that
