Let √7 is an irretional number
√7/1=a/b
b√7=a
________S.B.S
=>2b²=a²
=>b²=a²/7........1st equation
#If a² is divisible by 7, then a Is also divisible by 7.
=>a=7c........2nd equation
#Put the value of equation 1
=>b²=(7c²)
=>7b²= 49c²
=>b²=7c²
=>7/b²
=>7/b
So,√7 is an irretional number.

Let's assume that is rational.
Then, can be expressed as where q 0 and p, q has no common factor other than 1.
This means 7 is a prime factor of
means...
Let
Now putting p=7b in i we get,
This means, 7 is a factor of
Means,
Thus both p and q has common factor 7.
But this is a contradicts as we assumed p and q has no common factor other than 1.

Thus our assumption is wrong, and,
