Question

Is 7/6 a irrational number?

Answer 1

`7/6` is not irrational

Explanation:

As `7/6` is a fraction, it is a rational number and not irrational number. Irrational numbers cannot be written as a fraction or ratio of two integers.

Rational numbers, when expressed in decimal form have either terminating decimals (when denominator of the fraction in its smallest form has only `2` and `5` as prime factors) on non-terminating but repeating decimals.

If a number written in decimal form has non-terminating as well as non-repeating decimals, then it cannot be written as a ratio of two integers and is hence irrational.

As `7/6=1.16161616.......`, in which `16` get repeated (till infinity), it can be expressed as a fraction and is not irrational.
