Best Answer

Factors of 141 are 3 and 47

Sqrt (141) = sqrt(3) x sqrt(47) which are both irrational because they are square roots of primes.

So sqrt(141) is irrational. (Some irrational numbers are 'repeating' but some are not,like pi for example.)

" (Some irrational numbers are 'repeating' but some are not,like pi for example.)"

Note that no irrational numbers are repeating. If they were they would be expressible as the ratio of two integers; i.e. they would be rational!
