Step-by-step explanation:

Any number that can only be represented completely using symbols, such as π or √, is an irrational number.

If the number can be expressed as the ratio of two integers, it is a rational number. Such numbers include proper and improper fractions, integers, any number you can write with a finite number of digits, and any repeating decimal, regardless of the length of the repeat.
