Is pi rational?

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as one integer divided by another. Decimals can only be expressed in such a way if they are repeating. For example 0.4646464646... is 46/99 and 0.333333.... is 1/3. Because pi is a non repeating decimal, it cannot be expressed in this way. Thus it is an irrational number.
