In this project. we use the Macburin polynomials for exto prove that e is irrational. The proof relies on supposing that e is rational and arriving a a contradiction. Therefore, in the following steps, we suppose e = r/s for some integers r and s where s ≠ 0.
3. Using the results from part 2, show that for each remainder R0(1), R1(1), R2(1), R3(1), R4(1), we can find an integer k such that kRn(1) is an integer for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
