Answer:

A Irrational number

Explanation:

Explanation

Pi is strictly a irrational number , as it is not in the form of
(P)/(Q) . i.e not a fraction

Pi is consider from the ration of circumference of circle to its diameter .

and its value is Pi = 3.14159 ,but this value is not repeating

But in case of
(22)/(7) its value is 3.142857142857... i.e is this value is reapating its self ,

And
(22)/(7) is a rational number, as it is in the form of
(P)/(Q)

and if we subtract
(22)/(7) from a irrartional number then the resultant is also irrational

Hence we can say that PI -
(22)/(7) is a irrational number. Answer
