Irrational.

Explanation:

Rational numbers can be written in quotient form #(a/b, b!=0)# where #a and b# are integers,

but since the digits in #pi# (pi) never end and never recur, there are no numbers to which is can be simplified that would allow for it to be written as a fraction.

Therefore it is an irrational number.
