Let's take  \sqrt{5} as rational number .

We can write  \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} such that ,

a & b are integers ,  b ≠ 0 & there are no factors common to a & b .

Multiplying b on both sides , we get ;

 b \sqrt{5} = a

To remove root , squaring on both sides , we get ,  5b² = a²  _____ ( i )

That means , 5 is a factor of a² .

For any prime no. p which is a factor a² then it will be the factor of a also .

So , 5 is a factor of a . _____ ( ii )

Hence , we can write a = 5c for some integer c .

Putting the value of a in equation ( i ) we get ,

 5b² = (5c)²

 5b² = 25c²

Divide by 5 ; we get ,

 b² = 5c²

It means 5 is a factor of b²

Thus , 5 is a factor of b _____ ( iii )

From ( ii ) & ( iii ) , we can say that 5 is the factor of both a & b .

This contradicts our theory , as we stated that a & b have no factors in common

Thus , our assumption that  \sqrt{5} is rational is wrong .

Hence ,  \sqrt{5} is irrational number .
