Is *checkmark* 32 a rational number or irrational number?

By “check mark” do you mean a square root?
If so, the square root of 32 is irrational. As a decimal, it neither repeats, nor does it terminate. (It goes on forever without repeating.)

It is a rational number because you can find two integers as a fraction that equals to that number.

Simple example:
(64)/(2)

Hope this helps!
