👉 The process of rationalizing a number by making it an integer or to its simplest form is known as irrationalizing. This process involves converting a number into its decimal representation, where all digits after the decimal point are non-repeating. In this way, numbers that can be expressed in the form $a/b$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers and $b \neq 0$ (where $a$ is not equal to zero) are considered irrational. For example,
