Suppose that √10 is a rational number.
So, we have √10 = p/q , where p and q are relatively prime integers.
Hence, we have 10 = p²/q²
10q² = p²
Then, p² is divisible by 10 and hence p is divisible by 10
Therefore, p=10h for some integer h
Hence, we have 10q² = (10h)²
q² = 10h²
So, q² is divisible by 10 and hence q is divisible by 10
It leads to a contradiction since p and q are relatively prime.
Thus, we have √ 10 is an irrational number.
