A number is rational if it is the result of a fraction.

Take any number, if you can write it down as a fraction, then that number is rational.

Example: 2,5 is rational because it's 5/2.

A number is irrational if it's real and IS NOT rational.

Example: pi is irrational, e is irrational and also


√(72)
