NO!!!!

Because it can be converted to a RATIO/FRACTION.

14.142 = 14 142/1000 = 14 71/500

NB Irrational Numbers are those were the decimals recurr to infinity AND there is no regular order in the decimal digits.

'pi' is probably the most well known irrational number.

pi = 3.141592....

NB When given pi = 3.14 in school , this is only an approximation.

Othe irrational numbers are the 'square roots of prime numbers'.

sqrt(2) = 1.414213562....

sqrt(3) = 1.7320508...

sqrt(5) = 2.236067978....

et.seq.

No because it can be expressed as a fraction in the form of 7071/500 in its lowest terms and so therefore it is a rational number
