Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume that √7 be rational.
then it must in the form of p / q.
√7 = p / q
√7 x q = p
squaring on both sides
7q² = p² ------1.
p is divisible by 7
p = 7c [c is a positive integer] [squaring on both sides ]
p²= 49c²
subsitute p² in eqn(1) we get
7q² = 49 c²
q² = 7c²
q is divisble by 7
thus q and p have a common factor 7.
there is a contradiction to our assumption
as our assumsion p & q are co prime but it has a common factor.
so that √7 is an irrational.
hope it helps u ☺️☺️
