  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numerati... I know enough to know the examples for Base sqrt(2) are not correct, but I don't know enough to write a proper example. For example if this is true "Base √2 behaves in a very similar way to base 2 as all one has to do to convert a number from binary into base √2 is put a zero digit in between every binary digit" Then Base(10) 3 aka Base(2) 11 converted to Base(sqrt2) would be 101. But it is actually 1000.000001 As RDBury on the Talk page mentions, "bases that are not Pisot–Vijayaraghavan numbers are not guaranteed to terminate or even be periodic". Whomever wrote that example just happened to pick an integer where the Base(sqrt2) version terminates and has such a pattern, and treated it as if it applies to all integers. > Once again, This is your first comment to me

    > Then Base(10) 3 aka Base(2) 11 converted to Base(sqrt2) would be 101. But it is actually 1000.000001 I don't see how. As per the expansion definition in the article 101 = 2+0+1 = 3 1000.000001 = sqrt(8) + epsilon.
