The golden ratio is not a rational number. It cannot be expressed exactly as the quotient of two integers. It can be expressed as the quotient: (1+SQRT5)/2 where SQRT5 menas the square root of 5 (that is not a rational number either and so no quitient involving it is a rational number)

It is irrational. Any number that cannot be written as a fraction is irrational. So if the Golden Ratio were rational, instead of a never-ending decimal number, you'd see a fraction. The official measurement is (1+sqrt5)/2. sqrt5 is irrational.
