Question 84828
The number 17.2353617  is clearly a REAL number.  It is also either a RATIONAL or an IRRATIONAL number.  If the number is considered to be a TERMINATING decimal (that is, the number ends as it is given with 617), then this is a RATIONAL number.  However, if this number does not end with 617, but rather, it continues with no particular pattern, then this is an IRRATIONAL number.
