Skew binary number system Skew binary number system The skew binary number system is a non-standard positional numeral system in which the "n"th digit contributes a value of formula_1 times the digit (digits are indexed from 0) instead of formula_2 times as they do in binary. Each digit has a value of 0, 1, or 2. Notice that a number can have many skew binary representations. For example, a decimal number 15 can be written as 1000, 201 and 122. Each number can be written uniquely in skew binary canonical form where there is only at most one instance of the digit 2, which
Binary system a binary system but are not. Such objects merely appear to be close together, but lie at different distances from the solar system. When binary minor planets are similar in size, they may be called "binary companions" instead of referring to the smaller body as a satellite. Good examples of true binary companions are the 90 Antiope and the 79360 Sila–Nunam systems. Pluto and its largest moon Charon are sometimes described as a binary system because the barycenter (center of mass) of the two objects is not inside either of them.
