k here's a weird one:

i needs to convert these ones (or maybe just show me how to do the first one if i pick it up like lightning ;) ) from decimal to binary... but it's literally a decimal...?

0.98
0.347
0.9028

$\large   0.98 \times 2   =    \color{red}{1}.96$

$\large   0.96 \times 2   =    \color{red}{1}.92$

$\large   0.92 \times 2   =    \color{red}{1}.84$

Oh oh oh oh wait! lol I remember this now

What you do...is you continuously multiply by 2 to break it down..

.98 x 2 = 1.96    that whole number will be your first binary digit to the right of the decimal point...

now throw out that 1...so we have

.96 x 2 = 1.92   again we have a 1....so so far we have .11 for our binary numbers

and again we keep going and going

.92 x 2 = 1.84   so we have another 1   (can you tell this will go on for a while?

we have to keep going until we get down to the 0's

but it looks like this will be an infinite binary fraction
