A base-two positional fraction with a binary point separating nonnegative and negative powers of two. For example, 10.1012​=2+1/2+1/8=21/8. A finite expansion is a dyadic rational: with F fractional places, its value is an integer divided by 2F. Conversely, any nonnegative reduced fraction whose denominator is a power of two has a finite binary expansion. Leading integer zeroes and trailing fractional zeroes do not change its value.
