Formula

The formula to calculate the irrational factor of a number is:

$IF = \sqrt{N}$

Where:

IF is the irrational factor of the number
N is the number being analyzed for irrationality

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

Example 1:

Number: 2

Calculation:

$IF = \sqrt{2} \approx 1.41$

Example 2:

Number: 3

Calculation:

$IF = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73$
