• An example of an irrational number is the square root of 2 or 1.4142... and the numbers go on forever and don't repeat. The square root is the inverse of squaring a number, which means that the square root of 2 times the square root of 2 equals 2 but you can only solve it like that and not 1.4142 times 1.4142
