Prove root 5 is an irrational number.

Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.
we know that the rational numbers are in the form of p/q form where p,q are integers.
so, √5 = p/q
     p = √5q
we know that 'p' is a rational number. so √5 q must be rational since it equals to p
but it doesn't occurs with √5 since its not an integer
therefore, p =/= √5q
this contradicts the fact that √5 is an irrational number
hence our assumption is wrong and √5 is an irrational number.
