Maybe. It depends on the number that you are multiplying.

Pi multiplied by (1 / 4pi) = 1/4. A quarter is definitely rational.

Is pi an irrational or a rational number?

Pi is an irrational number. A rational number is one that can be expressed as a fraction (or ratio), e.g. 1/3. There are fractions that are near Pi, for example: 22/7 = 3.142857 (PI = 3.14159265...) A closer fraction is: 355/113 = 3.14159292 However whatever fraction you have, you will never get exactly PI. Hence it is irrational See the links for proofs that pi is irrational.


Is the set of irrational numbers closed under subtraction?

No; here's a counterexample to show that the set of irrational numbers is NOT closed under subtraction: pi - pi = 0. pi is an irrational number. If you subtract it from itself, you get zero, which is a rational number. Closure would require that the difference(answer) be an irrational number as well, which it isn't. Therefore the set of irrational numbers is NOT closed under subtraction.
