We know every rational number can be expressed in the form p/q, where p & q are integers and q ≠ 0.
Let √3 be a rational number.
√3 = p/q (p & q are co-primes)
Squaring both sides
3 divides p²
i.e. 3 divides p
Let, p = 3m
p² = 9m²
3q² = 9m²
q² = 3m²
3 divides q²
i.e 3 divides q
p & q have already two common factors. But this contradicts the fact that p & q are co-primes.
Thus, √3 is not a rational number.
Therefore, √3 is a irrational number.
