Answer: In mathematics, there are some numbers which are non-terminating and non-recurring decimals. You cannot get the definite value as it goes on increasing as you keep diving, such numbers can’t reach to an end thus called irrational number, and pi which is the value we get when we divide 22 from 7, the division never ends, so it is irrational. On the other hand, we simply look at 22/7, it is a fraction by its look, so it is rational. We are not diving it, we are just looking at it and calling it a fraction, a rational.
