    The document discusses rational and irrational numbers. It shows that √2 and √3 are irrational through contradiction, by assuming they are rational which would mean they can be written as fractions of integers, but this is not true. It also states that if a number can be expressed as a ratio of integers with a prime factorization, then it has a decimal expansion that eventually terminates and is thus rational.
