Card 1 of 22

Why can 0.1100.1_{10}0.110​ not be represented exactly as a finite binary fraction?

A

It results in a recurring binary fraction (0.000110011...0.000110011...0.000110011...).

B

It is not an integer power of 2 in binary notation (0.000110011...0.000110011...0.000110011...).

C

It requires a negative power of 2 in its binary fraction (0.000110011...0.000110011...0.000110011...).

D

It is too small to be stored as a finite binary fraction (0.000000001...0.000000001...0.000000001...).
