No.

Repeating decimals are rational.

To convert a repeating decimal to a fraction, put the repeating digit(s) over the same number of 9s and simplify:

examples.

  • 0.333...
It has one repeating digit (3) so put it over one 9 (9) to get 3/9 which can be simplified by dividing top and bottom by 3 (the hcf of 3 and 9) to get 1/3. Thus:

0.333... = 1/3

  • 0.181818...
It has two repeating digits (18) so put them over two 9s (99) to get 18/99 which can be simplified by dividing top and bottom by 9 (the hcf of 18 and 99) to get 2/11. Thus:

0.181818.... = 2/11

A repeating decimal is an irrational number?

Actually, a repeating decimal is not necessarily an irrational number. A repeating decimal is a decimal number that has a repeating pattern of digits after the decimal point. While some repeating decimals can be irrational, such as 0.1010010001..., others can be rational, like 0.3333... which is equal to 1/3. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and they have non-repeating, non-terminating decimal representations.

Is 5.56776436283 an irrational number?

Yes, 5.56776436283 is an irrational number. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers and has a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal expansion. Since the decimal representation provided appears to be a non-repeating decimal, it indicates that the number is irrational.
