• curprev 09:1609:16, 19 February 2024‎ Vincent Lefèvre talk contribs‎ 2,455 bytes −4‎ Undid revision 1208850579 by 86.27.248.11 (talk) First, not all rational numbers can be written with a finite number of digits in some basis. Moreover, including an infinite number of digits for normalized numbers may be useful from a theoretical point of view (e.g. for math proofs or specifications). undo Tag: Undo
