begin mathsize 16px style let space fraction numerator 2 square root of 3 over denominator 5 end fraction be space rational
fraction numerator begin display style 2 square root of 3 end style over denominator begin display style 5 end style end fraction equals straight p over straight q...... straight p space and space straight q space are space co space prime
square
12 over 25 equals fraction numerator begin display style straight p squared end style over denominator begin display style straight q squared end style end fraction
straight p squared equals fraction numerator begin display style 12 end style over denominator begin display style 25 end style end fraction straight q squared
straight p squared equals straight c space cross times space straight q squared
so space straight c space divides space straight p squared
ie. space straight c space divides space straight p
straight p equals straight c cross times straight k....... say
fraction numerator begin display style 2 square root of 3 end style over denominator begin display style 5 end style end fraction equals straight p over straight q
straight q equals fraction numerator begin display style 5 end style over denominator begin display style 2 square root of 3 end style end fraction cross times straight p
straight q equals fraction numerator begin display style 5 end style over denominator begin display style 2 square root of 3 end style end fraction cross times straight c cross times straight k
straight q equals space straight t space cross times space straight c......... straight c space divides space straight q
now space straight c space divides space both space straight p space and space straight q space
so space contradiction space since space they space are space co space prime
so space our space assumption space is space wrong end style
