There are products between irrational numbers that are rationals and other that are irrationals. What about the specific case of π e \frac{\pi}{e} ? We need more informations, like the fact that π + e \pi+e and π e \frac{\pi}{e} do not satisfy any polynomial equation of degree 8 ≤8 with integer coefficients of average size 1 0 9 10^{9} (cf. Numerical Results on the Transcendence of Constants , 1988, by David H. Bailey). But this is still not enough to answer this question.
