- Every rational number has a decimal expansion that either terminates (like 42.23517) or repeats (like 26.1447676767676...)
- Pi's decimal expansion neither terminates nor repeats
- Hence, Pi cannot be rational.
If we could prove the first two statements, this would constitute a proof that Pi is irrational, but most people cannot provide proof of either. Most proofs on this issue are quite technical, but I'm hoping to return to this question with a suitable answer soon.
What else can I help you with?
Is pi a recurring decimal a terminating decimal or an irrational number?
Pi is an irrational number
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 pi minus 1 irrational?
Yes, ( \pi - 1 ) is irrational. Since ( \pi ) is known to be an irrational number, subtracting a rational number (1) from it does not change its irrationality. Therefore, ( \pi - 1 ) remains irrational.
Is negative 3 pi rational or irrational?
Negative 3 pi is an irrational number. This is because pi (π) itself is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Multiplying an irrational number by a rational number (in this case, -3) results in an irrational number. Thus, negative 3 pi remains irrational.
Is the square of pi a rational or irrational nuymber?
The square of pi is an irrational number.
How do you prove pi is rational?
pi is irrational so that's impossible
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 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.
Why is 10 pi irrational?
A non-zero rational number (10) multiplied by an irrational number (pi) is always irrational.
Is pi minus 1 irrational?
Yes, ( \pi - 1 ) is irrational. Since ( \pi ) is known to be an irrational number, subtracting a rational number (1) from it does not change its irrationality. Therefore, ( \pi - 1 ) remains irrational.
Is negative 3 pi rational or irrational?
Negative 3 pi is an irrational number. This is because pi (π) itself is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Multiplying an irrational number by a rational number (in this case, -3) results in an irrational number. Thus, negative 3 pi remains irrational.
Is the square of pi a rational or irrational nuymber?

This french mathematician discovered how to prove that pi was an irrational number?
Johann Heinrich Lambert, however, Johann was Swiss, not French.
