Answer:
In the 1760s, Johann Heinrich Lambert proved that the number π (pi) is irrational: that is, it cannot be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a is an integer and b is a non-zero integer. In the 19th century, Charles Hermite found a proof that requires no prerequisite knowledge beyond basic calculus. Three simplifications of Hermite's proof are due to Mary Cartwright, Ivan Niven, and Nicolas Bourbaki. Another proof, which is a simplification of Lambert's proof, is due to Miklós Laczkovich.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume on the contrary that 3 is a rational number.
Then, there exist positive integers a and b such that 3= ba
where, a and b, are co-prime i.e. their HCF is 1
Now,3 = ba
Hope its help..
