Rational : Any number that can be expressed as a fraction (or a ratio.) Irrational: Not rational, any number that can't be written down as a fraction. Some examples include π ( 3.1415926... ) , 2 , and so on.
Anything rational can be expressed in a form other than a symbol. However, irrational numbers are those that go on forever and never stops, such as π or phi
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as fractions of integers, such as 4 3 or 1.5. In contrast, irrational numbers cannot be expressed as simple fractions and have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansions, such as π and 2 . Understanding the difference between these two types of numbers is fundamental in mathematics.
