Strictly speaking, no, because the identity for addition 0, and the identity for multiplication, 1 are not irrationals.
Multiplication is simply a shortcut for repeated addition of the same number.For example, 4 x 2 is the same as 2 + 2 + 2 + 2(two added to itself, four times).
Additive identity = 0Multiplicative identity = 1.
