Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. A rational number can be expressed as a fraction (p)/(q), where p and q are integers and q is not zero.

    An irrational number cannot be expressed in this form.

  2. The square root of 23, or √(23), cannot be simplified to a whole number or a fraction of two integers because 23 is not a perfect square.

  3. Therefore, √(23) is an irrational number.

    √(23) is an irrational number.
