Yes, some real numbers are not ratinal numbers. They are called irrational numbers. These are numbers that cannot be expressed as a quotient of tow integers. In simpler terms, they cannot be converted to a fraction with numerators and denominators which are integers. In decimals, their numbers are never ending and do not have a pattern. 
Examples are sqrt%283%29, pi and e.
