Rational numbers are not usually rounded - their decimal equivalents are. So convert a rational into its decimal equivalent and then round it to however many places that you want.

Yes.Because you know where the decimals on the number end, it is a rational number. If you are just rounding the number, and it's really 50.85624861913756843168713843134313764673388 .... etc., with the decimals continuing forever without a pattern, then it is irrational.

Is 618.49875234920006 a irrational number?

An irrational number is any number which cannot be expressed as a fraction. The number in the question can be expressed as a fraction (61,849,875,234,920,006/100,000,000,000,000) and so is rational. That being said, I suspect what has been entered was copied from a calculator, and actually represents a rounding of the number to the nearest rational number, so the answer may actually be irrational.


If three irrational numbers added together is the result irrational number?
