Let us assume that √2 is rational .Then it will be of the form p/q where p and q are coprime (p and q have no common factor other than 1),q not equal to 0

Now,√2=p/q
On squaring both sides
2= p^2/q^2

2q^2=p^2----(1)
From theorem that states :if p divides a,^2, then p divides a.

So, 2 divides p^2
2 divides p.
Then p can be written as 2c where C is an integer .
On putting p=2c in equation (1)
We get , m 2q^2=(2c)^2
2q^2 = 4c^2
q^2=2c^2

So 2 divides q^2
2 divides q

Thus 2 is a common factor for p and q. But this contradict the fact that p and q are coprime .

Hence √2 is irrational.



Hope it helps!!!

PROOF:

. let us assume that\sqrt{2} is not an irrational.

\sqrt{2} is rational.

\sqrt{2} = \frac{p}{q} where p,q= 0 q is \cancel{=} 0. p,q are co - primes.

squaring on both sides.

(\sqrt{2})^2 = (\frac{p}{q}){^2}

2= \frac{p{^2}}{q{^2}}

{p}^2= {2×{q}^2}

{p}^2 is divisible by 2.

{p} is also divisible by 2.

\boxed{let p= 2k.....1}

from equation 1

({2k}^2) = {2×{q}^2}

\cancel{4}{k}^2= \cancel{2}{q}^2

{2{k}^2} = {q}^2}

= {q}^2} ={2{k}^2}

{q}^2 is divisible by 2 .

{q} is also divisible by 2.

2 is the common factor for both p,q but p,q are co - primes

It is contradiction to our assumption

oure assumption is wrong.

\sqrt{2} is not a rational

\sqrt{2} is an irrational.
