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.
Written terminating as it does, it is a rational number. If that is the first bit with the 6 repeating forever (1.666...), then it is still a rational number. Irrational numbers as those numbers in decimal format that neither terminate nor end with a repeating sequence of digits.
Archimedes
Write them as decimals, and compare. If the first digit of two numbers is equal, compare the second digit; if the second digit is equal, compare the third digit, etc.
Fibonacci numbers have always been around. Many scholars believe the concept was first noticed by mathematicians of India. Leonardo of Pisa (known as Fibonacci) first introduced the sequence to Western European mathematics in a 1202 book entitled LiberAbici, thus the sequence bears his name.
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.
No. For example, 20.5 is irrational; indeed it was one of the first irrational numbers to be discovered.

Modern numbers are called Arabic numbers, so.....
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.
first in India but from Irabic numerals
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.
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.
