Q. Diffrence between Rational and Irrational Numbers?

Ans.

A number which is not rational is called irrational. The word "irrational" sounds not quite right...as though the numbers were "wrong in some way. As a matter of fact, many early mathematicians like Pythagoras were unwilling to accept that such numbers could exist. Nowadays, irrational numbers are accepted as perfectly "proper."

Some examples of irrational numbers are:

• Square roots of whole numbers that aren't perfect squares; for example,

• Decimal numbers that don't repeat or terminate. Some examples of this type of number are Π ≡ 3.14159... and e ≡ 2.71828...

• There are many other examples. In fact, there are "more" irrational numbers than rational numbers.

How do you know when a number is irrational? That can be difficult. If you can write a number as a fraction., then it must be rational, but if you can't write a number as a fraction, then maybe you just haven't thought of the right fraction yet! To know for sure that a number is irrational, you would have to prove that it can't be written as a fraction.
