What is an Irrational Factor?

An irrational factor refers to a number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, meaning its decimal representation goes on forever without repeating. Common examples of irrational numbers include the square root of any non-perfect square, π (pi), and e (Euler’s number). These numbers are contrasted with rational numbers, which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

Example Calculation
