the irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers, i.e. as a fraction. Therefore, irrational numbers, when written as decimal numbers, do not terminate, nor do they repeat.

Answer:
Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two whole numbers.
This is opposed to rational numbers, like 2, 7, one-fifth and -13/9, which can be, and are, expressed as the ratio of two whole numbers.
When expressed as a decimal, irrational numbers go on forever after the decimal point and never repeat.
