The formula to calculate the irrational factor of a number is:
\[ IF = \sqrt{N} \]
Where:
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 1:
Calculation:
\[ IF = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41 \]
Example 2:
Calculation:
\[ IF = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73 \]
