Binary number double the number to be converted, record if the result is at least 1, and then throw away the integer part. For example, formula_10, in binary, is: Thus the repeating decimal fraction 0... is equivalent to the repeating binary fraction 0... . Or for example, 0.1, in binary, is: This is also a repeating binary fraction 0.0... . It may come as a surprise that terminating decimal fractions can have repeating expansions in binary. It is for this reason that many are surprised to discover that 0.1 + ... + 0.1, (10 additions) differs from 1 in floating point arithmetic.
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.
