Lemma 1.1: √ 2 is irrational. Proof: We know by Lemma 1.2 and Lemma 1.3 that any automorphism from a field extension to itself sends rationals to rationals.

Proof of 2 is an irrational numbers. Assume, 2 is a rational number, it can be written as p q , in which p and q are co-prime integers and q ≠ 0 ,.

Here is a proof (ascribed to Pythagoras). Suppose that √2 is rational: √2=a/b, where a and b are positive integers and the fraction is irreducible.

The rational root theorem (or integer root theorem) may be used to show that any square root of any natural number that is not a perfect square is irrational.
