let us assume that √7 be rational.

then it must in the form of p / q.

As definition of rational number says.. P is whole number q is non zero whole number.. And p and q is simplest ratio which is expressed.. That means there exists no prime factor common in p and 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

substitute p² in eq.(1) we get

7q² = 49 c²

q² = 7c²

q is divisible by 7

thus q and p have a common factor 7. there is a contradiction to our assumption as our assumesion p & q are co prime but it has a common factor.

so that √7 is an irrational....

hope it helps you..

Answer:

√7=a/b ( here a and b are co prime means they have only 1 as common factor. ... Here we find 7 is common which divide both a and b but this is contradiction because a and b are co prime they don't have common factor other than 1. So for our assumption is wrong. Hence √7 is irrational.
