Let √6 be a rational no.
a/b = √6 , where a and b are co prime no.s
a = √6b ------(1)
a2 = 6b2 ( its a square equal to 6 b square )
( if p divisible by a then p is also divisible by a square )
let a = 6c
a2 = 6b2 then
(6c)2 = 6b2
36c square = 6 b square
6 c2 = b2
6c = b ------(2)
from (1) and (2)
it contradicts the fact that a and b are co prime no.s
therefore our assumption is wrong and √6 is an irrational no.
