An irrational number can be written as a decimal, but not as a fraction. An irrational number has endless non-repeating digits to the right of the decimal point. All most all real numbers are irrational
Like all real numbers, irrational numbers can be expressed in positional notation, notably as a decimal number. In the case of irrational numbers, the decimal expansion does not terminate, nor end with a repeating sequence . For example, the decimal representation of π starts with 3.14159, but no finite number of digits can represent π exactly, nor does it repeat.
