Proof that e is irrational fraction, "e" is irrational. A short proof of the previous equality is known. Since the simple continued fraction of "e" is not periodic, this also proves that "e" is not a root of second degree polynomial with rational coefficients; in particular, "e" is irrational. The most well-known proof is Joseph Fourier's proof by contradiction, which is based upon the equality Initially "e" is assumed to be a rational number of the form ⁄. Note that "b" could not be equal to 1 as "e" is not an integer. It can be shown using the above equality that "e" is strictly
