  • 2 answers

Utkarsh Patel 7 years, 7 months ago

Let √2 is irrational number ,means √2 is a rational number . Let √2= p by q √2^2= p^2 by q^2 2 = p^2 by q^2 2q^2 = p^2 -------(1) q^2=p^2 by 2 ~2 divides p^2 ~2 divides p also. Let p by 2 =r ,for some integer r. p=2r ----------(2) On substituting eq.(2) in eq.(1). 2q^2=2^2.r^2 q^2 = 4r^2 q^2=2r^2 q^2 by 2= r^2 ~2 divides q^2. ~2 divides q also Thus, is a common factor of p and q but this contradict that p and q are coprime so our assumption is wrong . Hence ,√2 is an irrational number

Let route to be a rational number so it can be written in p by Q form where p and q are coprime numbers means it has only one factor that is 1 and where is not equal to zero
