Best Answer

An irrational number is a number that can't be written as a fraction with whole numbers on top and bottom.

An irrational number written as a decimal never ends. BUT, some rational numbers

do the same thing, so you can't say that just because the decimal never ends, it

must be an irrational number.

Here are some rational numbers whose decimals never end:

1/3

1/6

1/7

1/9

1/11
