Example was Pi. This is wrong. If a group of figures is repeated infinitely often ("repeating decimal" like 6,7834343434343...) the number is rational, if this is not the case it is irrational. Pi is irrational, proof not trivial, given in a paper around 1905. 0,09 is a rational number, i.e. a fraction of the form m/n with m and n integer, m=9, n=100.
