Irrational number circumference to its diameter, Euler's number "e", the golden ratio "φ", and the square root of two; in fact all square roots of natural numbers, other than of perfect squares, are irrational.

For example, the decimal representation of the number starts with 3.14159, but no finite number of digits can
