What is rational and irrational?

Answers

Answered by bobpursley
rational numbers can be represented as fractions of integers

3 is rational, 15/5 is a integer fraction that represents it.

irrational numbers cannot be written as a whole integer fraction, such as sqrt5

Another difference, as a decimal, rational numbers repeat, such as

1.666666666... is a rational number
2.456456456456... is rational

Irrational numbers in decimal form never repeat digits.
