Answer:

A number that cannot be expressed as a fraction with the denominator other than 1.

Explanation:

For example, the number 4 is a rational number, for it can be written as 8/2.

3.33333333... is a rational number for it can be written 10/3.

HOWEVER,


√(2) IS NOT a rational number, since there is no x, y whole numbers

to write


√(2) = (x)/(y)

Answer:

An irrational number is a number that has no pattern and has no end. For example 3 divided by 7 is an irrational number because of the lack of pattern and never-ending decimal.
