Irrational Numbers were known in India around 7th Century BCE but there existence as a different class of number but they had not proved their existence. That is sometimes attributed to Hippasus, a Greek philosopher of the Pythagorean school in the 5th Century BCE.

Who is the inventor of prime numbers?
Mathematics, including prime numbers, is discovered, not invented.Systems and methods we use are invented, but concepts of relationships between objects governed by logic, such as the prime numbers are discovered and named. As such, a more appropriate question might be "Who discovered prime numbers?"Many have discovered prime numbers; the first is unknown to mankind.
What are the first ten irrational numbers?
Irrational numbers are infinitely dense so it is not possible to list them. Whatever positive irrational number you select, there are infinitely many smaller ones.
Which was the first irrational number to be discovered?
Type your answer here...square root of two or pie ?
How do you show irrational number r uncountable?
To show that the set of irrational numbers is uncountable, you can use Cantor's diagonal argument. First, assume that the set of irrational numbers is countable and list them in a sequence. By constructing a new number that differs from each listed irrational number at a specific decimal place, you can demonstrate that this new number is also irrational and not in the original list, leading to a contradiction. Thus, the set of irrational numbers must be uncountable.
What is the 1st irrational number?
There is no first irrational number. Irrational numbers are infinitely dense which means that there are infinitely many of them in any interval. So if any number laid claim to being the first, there would be infinitely many that would be between 0 and that number. Each one of them would then have a better claim to be "first".
What group of mathematicians first discovered the irrational numbers?
Pythogora
If a is rational and b is rational is a to the b power is rational?

When did irrational numbers derive?
The first proof of the existence of irrational numbers is usually attributed to a Pythagorean(possibly Hippasus of Metapontum), who probably discovered them while identifying sides of the pentagram in the fifth century BC.
What are the first ten irrational numbers?
Irrational numbers are infinitely dense so it is not possible to list them. Whatever positive irrational number you select, there are infinitely many smaller ones.
Are irrational numbers closed under division?
No. 4 root 2 and 2 root 2 are both irrational. Divide the first by the second you get 2. Which is not a member of the set of irrational numbers.

Is 121 an irrational number?
NO this number is way far from irrational, first of all let's classify this number, it's an integer, whole number, rational, even a perfect square. This number has two numbers that are not irrational. one example is 11, 11 those numbers are rational so the product can't be irrational.
What happened to the person who discovered irrational numbers?
Little is really ''known'' about this. Stories abound and many conflict. The surest element of the tales is that root 2 was the first number proven irrational. The favourite for "whodunnit" was Hippasus. Many tales are told of his death by drowning. "Whodun'''that"''' has various answers with Pythagoras as the favourite pusher. Other stories have Pythagoras ordering Hippasus drowned for revealing the existence of irrational numbers, which Pythagoras thought should be kept secret.
