Prove that 53 is irrational

Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let us assume the given number be rational and we will write the given number in p/q form

53=pq

3=5qpq

We observe that LHS is irrational and RHS is rational, which is not possible.
This is contradiction.

Hence our assumption that given number is rational is false

53 is irrational
