Binary number digit represents. For example, the binary number 100101 is converted to decimal form as follows: Fractions in binary only terminate if the denominator has 2 as the only prime factor. As a result, 1/10 does not have a finite binary representation, and this causes 10 × 0.1 not to be precisely equal to 1 in floating point arithmetic. As an example, to interpret the binary expression for 1/3 = .010101..., this means: 1/3 = 0 × 2 + 1 × 2 + 0 × 2 + 1 × 2 + ... = 0.3125 + ... An exact value cannot be
Contact binary (small Solar System body) are expected to be contact binaries with two lobes in mutual contact. Contact binary (small Solar System body) A contact binary is a small Solar System body that is composed of two bodies that have gravitated toward each other until they touch. This means contact binaries have odd shapes. Comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko and Comet Tuttle are most likely contact binaries. Asteroids suspected of being contact binaries include the unusually elongated 624 Hektor and the bilobated 216 Kleopatra and 4769 Castalia. 25143 Itokawa, which was photographed by the "Hayabusa" probe, also appears to be a contact binary which has resulted in an
