No, it is not rational. It is irrational!

In fact is one of the most famous irrational numbers used to calculate all sorts of crazy math stuff related to circles.
The reason it is irrational is because you cannot use a simple fraction to represent pi.
0.88repeating can be represented as a fraction: 88/99, however π cannot be represented by an a/b fraction.
