Difference between irrational or rational numbers
Rational Number is defined as the number which can be written in a ratio of two integers.
An irrational number is a number which cannot be expressed in a ratio of two integers.
The rational number includes only those decimals, which are finite and repeating. Conversely, irrational numbers include those numbers whose decimal expansion is infinite, non-repetitive and shows no pattern.
Examples of Rational Number
1/9 – Both numerator and denominator are integers.
7 – Can be expressed as 7/1, wherein 7 is the quotient of integers 7 and 1
Examples of Irrational Number
√2 – √2 cannot be simplified and so, it is irrational.
√7/5 – The given number is a fraction, but it is not the only criteria to be called as the rational number.Hence, the given number is irrational.
