To prove that a number is irrational, first we have to assume that the number is rational.
For ex. √2 is rational
Then √2 can be written in p/q form.
So √2= p/q where p and q are prime to each other.
(√2)^2= p^2/q^2
=> 2q^2 = p^2
So from the above equation we find that q^2 is even as 2 is multiplied with Ur and so p^2 is also even and so p is even.
But two even numbers can't be prime .
Hence this contradicts our assumption that√2 is rational.
So √2 is irrational.........
