How to Find if the Value is Rational or Irrational?

A rational number is a number that is of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0. For example 6/2, 15/3,...

Irrational numbers are those real numbers that cannot be represented in the form of a ratio p /q. In other words, those real numbers that are not rational numbers are known as irrational numbers. For example π, e, √13,...

Check whether the expression a^1/x is rational or irrational.

Let's see an example to understand briefly.

Solved Examples on Rational or Irrational Calculator

Example 1:

Check 25^1/2 is rational or irrational and verify it using the online rational or irrational calculator.

Solution:

Given: Expression: 25^1/2

a = 25 and x = 2

= (5²)^1/2

= 5/1 which is rational

Example 2:

Check 5^1/2 is rational or irrational and verify it using the online rational or irrational calculator.

Solution:

Given: Expression: 5^1/2

a = 5 and x = 1

= (5)^1/2

= √5 which is irrational

Example 3:

Check 64^1/3 is rational or irrational and verify it using the online rational or irrational calculator.

Solution:

Given: Expression: 64^1/3

a = 64 and x = 3

= (4³)^1/3

= 4 which is rational

Similarly, you can try the online rational or irrational calculator to check whether the given number is rational or irrational:
