An irrational number is one that can not be written as a/b where a and b are integers

(whole numbers such as 5, -2, and 831).

Mathematically: A quantity which can not be expressed as the ratio of two integers.

Real numbers are any number you can find in the real world. For example:

-the square root of 2

-the length of a line (any line)

-pi (3.1415..........)

-The number of people in a flight

-The time it takes the water to boil

A more formal definition would be: Any number which does not have an imaginary component.
