It would be nice if the site had an explanation why the decimal 0.1 has no finite representation in base-2 system. In short it's about factorization of the base of the system - base-2 lacks 5 that is present in base-10. It is analogous to 1/3 or 1/7 not having a finite representation in base-10 dot notation of a fraction.
