First of all you need to understand how did Pi come up.
consider a cake that you bought and then you cut it in 7(or more) diameters.
Then you take those separate "pastries" and then arrange such that it represents like a crocodile teeth.
(Trying my best to graphically represent it:)

Q: Now what is a circumrence?
A: diameter times pi.
the circumfrence(C) of the circle is represented here in dots(..)
....................
:VAVAVAVAV:
``````````
so C= p*d (p=pi)
therefore, p=C/d
Hence, Pi is nothing but a ratio (that is a fraction)
And the ratio of the dots above(circumference) to the sum of the V's and A's lengths is never perfect.
Hence it is irrational.

Why is pi a rational number?
Pi is irrational.
2pi is an integer?
2 times pi is not an integer. Since Pi is an irrational number, 2 pi is also an irrational number.
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 0.16 pie a rational number?
(pi) itself is an irrational number. The only multiples of it that can be rational are (pi) x (a rational number/pi) .
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.
Is 2 pi a rational number?
No, since Pi is an irrational number, 2(pi) would still be irrational.
Is negative pi rational or irrational?
-Pi is irrational, because it does not terminate or repeat. Whenever you multiply an irrational number by a rational number (-1), the result is an irrational number.
Is pi a recurring decimal a terminating decimal or an irrational number?
Pi is an irrational number
What is pi an irrational number?
Yes, it is an irrational number.
Is pi plus pi a rational or irrational number?
It is irrational, just like pi
Why is 10 pi irrational?
A non-zero rational number (10) multiplied by an irrational number (pi) is always irrational.
Why is PI a rational or irrational number?
pi is an irrational number. It is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Is the square of pi a rational or irrational nuymber?
The square of pi is an irrational number.
Is the ratio of the circumference and diameter of a circle is an irrational number?
That's the number pi, and yes, it is irrational.
Why is pi a rational number?
Pi is irrational.
Why the area of a circle with a rational radius must be an irrational number?
It the radius is r then the area is pi*r*r - which is pi times a rational number. pi is an irrational number, so the multiple of pi and a rational number is irrational.
Is 3 pi irrational?
Pi, is an irrational number (it cannot be written as a fraction) For this reason, 3 times pi is also irrational.
