![√(2) * √(2) = 2](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/rbo7g5r733m75dm0uyybkvl37iq72648d9.png)
![\pi * \pi = 9.86960....](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/ix7j10eqqtqjri2foenye2xtkbl7claf1h.png)
the 1st product (2) can be written as a fraction but the second one cannot be written as a fraction
