It is easy to see that $\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}$ are irrational. So $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{4}$ is irrational. But what about $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{4} + \sqrt{5}$? I suspect that
$$\sum_{n=2}^{k} \sqrt{n}$$ is always irrational, is it true and is there a simple way to proof that?

I use Euclidean Algorithm: 4620 = 101 * 45 + 75. long story short. I get 3 = 2 * 1 + 1. After that 2 = 1 * 2 + 0. gcd(101,4620) = 1. So I us...
