Irrational Number
A real number that can NOT be made by dividing two integers (an integer has no fractional part).
"Irrational" means "no ratio", so it isn't a rational number. We aren't saying it's crazy!
Its decimal also goes on forever without repeating.
Example: π (the famous number "pi") is an irrational number, as it can not be made by dividing two integers.
