√16 is rational.
A rational number is defined as any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, where q is not equal to 0.
In this case, √16 can be simplified as √(4*4), which is equal to 4. 4 can be expressed as the quotient of two integers, 4/1. Therefore, √16 can be expressed as a fraction of two integers and is therefore rational.
