Answer:
Let's consider √2 as rational
and √2 = a/b where a & b are co-primes (which have no factors other than 1)
√2b=a
2b^2 = a^2
b divides a^2 and a divides a
let a = 2c
so 2b^2 = 4c^2
b^2 = 2c^2
now 2 divides b^2 and b
therefore 2 is the common factor for both a & b
but a & b are coprimes
So our assumption is wrong
Therefore √2 is irrational
