How to Correctly Identify Rational vs Irrational Numbers

How to Correctly Identify Rational vs Irrational Numbers

The map in words

  • Given a number
    • Is it a fraction p divided by q where q is not 0?
      • Yes: Are p and q integers?
        • Yes: RATIONAL
        • No: Check further
          • Does it involve a square root?
            • Square root of a perfect square: RATIONAL - e.g. root 9 equals 3
            • Square root of a non-perfect-square: IRRATIONAL - e.g. root 2
      • No - it is a decimal: Is the decimal terminating or repeating?
        • Terminating like 0.25: RATIONAL
        • Non-terminating AND repeating like 0.333...: RATIONAL
        • Non-terminating AND non-repeating like pi: IRRATIONAL
