$\sqrt{2} = \frac{p}{q}$
with $\frac{p}{q}$ in simplest form.
$2 = \frac{p^2}{q^2}$
$2q^2 = p^2$
$\therefore$ $p^2$ must be even
$\therefore$ $p$ must be even
replace $p$ with $2k$, where k is an integer
$2q^2 = (2k)^2$
$2q^2 = 4k^2$
$q^2 = 2k^2$
$\therefore$ $q^2$ must be even
$\therefore$ $q$ must be even
if $p$ and $q$ are both even, is contradicts our statement of $\frac{p}{q}$ in simplest form as they have a common factor of 2
$\therefore$ $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational
complete list of primes:
$p_1, p_2, p_3, \dots, p_n$
$Q = p_1 \times p_2 \times p_3 \times \dots \times p_n$
$p_1 \times p_2 \times p_3 \times \dots \times p_n$ is the only way to write Q as a product of primes
if we add 1 to Q
$Q = p_1 \times p_2 \times p_3 \times \dots \times p_n + 1$
cant create product of primes because any of the primes will have the multiple $p_1 \times p_2 \times p_3 \times \dots \times p_n$
eg. $p_2(p_1 \times p_3 \times \dots \times p_n) = Q - 1$
and since we cant add 1 in any way
this must be a new prime and the list is not complete contradicting our statement.
$\therefore$ there are infinite primes.
