Is the square root of 16 and irrational number
no square root of 9 is 3 which is rational -- to be more specific: an irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction. Pi, for example, is one of these numbers. If a number is not a perfect square (4, 16, 9, 144, 225, etc.), then it's square root is likely to be an irrational number. For example, the square root of 2 (1.41421356...) is an irrational number because it cannot accurately be expressed as a fraction.
Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. The square root of 2 and the square root of 3 are both irrational, as is their product, the square root of 6. The square root of 2 and the square root of 8 are both irrational, but their product, the square root of 16, is rational (in fact, it equals 4).
Yes, 102 isn't a square number (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144) so the square root of 102 will keept going forever and is irrational.
It is a real number, a rational number, an integer.
