Please yogita prove √5 is an iirational

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 5 months ago

Given √2 is irrational number.
Let √2 = a / b wher a,b are integers b ≠ 0
we also suppose that a / b is written in the simplest form
Now √2 = a / b
⇒ 2 = a2 / b2 
⇒   2b2 = a2
∴ 2b2 is divisible by 2
⇒  a2 is divisible by 2    
⇒  a is divisible by 2  
∴ let a = 2c
a2 = 4c2
⇒ 2b2 = 4c2
⇒ b2 = 2c2
∴ 2c2  is divisible by 2
∴ b2  is divisible by 2
∴ b  is divisible by 2
∴ a are b   are  divisible by 2 .
This contradicts our supposition that a/b is written in the simplest form.
Hence our supposition is wrong
∴ √2 is irrational number.
