prove that root P is irrational

 
But when a prime number divides the product of two numbers, it must divide atleast one of them.


Thus, a and b have atleast one common multiple p
But it arises the contradiction to our assumption that a and b are coprime.
Thus, our assumption is wrong and  
√p is an irrational number.
if this was not what you had in your mind please let us know.
