number theory - Does there exist any positive integer n such that en is an integer (to show log2 is irrational)?


Does there exist any positive integer n such that en is an integer ?





I was in particular trying to prove log2 is irrational; now if it is rational, then there are relatively prime integers p,q both positive such that log2=p/q that is ep=2q is an integer. I wanted to reach a contradiction.
