Let \(\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}\) be a sequence of positive real numbers. Then the set \[ E_{\Pi}\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}=\left\{\prod_{n=1}^\infty\left(1+\frac{1}{\alpha_n c_n}\right)\mid c_n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\right\} \] is called its \(\Pi\)-\textit{expressible set}, while the sequence \(\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}\) is called \(\Pi\)-\textit{irrational} if the elements of the set \(E_{\Pi}\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}\) are irrational numbers. The aim of the present paper is to calculate \(E_{\Pi}\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}\) under various hypotheses on the sequence \(\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}\). To this direction the authors managed to investigate specific results for the \(\Pi\)-expressible set of products as a continuation of related investigations on \(\Sigma\)-expressible sets of sums \[ E_{\Sigma}\{\alpha_n\}_{n\geq 1}=\left\{\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\alpha_n c_n}\mid c_n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\right\}. \]
