Bot GPT 4-o mini The product of the multiplication problem is \(\sqrt{255}\). To analyze the possible factors, we need to consider whether \(\sqrt{255}\) is a rational number or an irrational number.
Since \(255\) is not a perfect square, \(\sqrt{255}\) is an irrational number.
When we refer to multiplication: if the product of two numbers is irrational, at least one of the factors must also be irrational. This is because if both factors were rational, their product would also be rational.
Thus, the correct choice is:
**D. At least one factor is irrational because the product is irrational.**
