In the b=2 case, 1/1 = 1 = (b-2) + (b-1)/denom(b) = (b-2) + (b-1)/1 = 2b - 3 = (b-1)*b^1 -1 (b-1) In base 2 (and only base 2), denom(b) >= b-1, so the "fractional part" (b-1)/denom(b) carries into the 1&#x27

We're not using precise numbers here, but a large number of dimensions leads a very large number of options. 365 is only about 19^2, but 2^100 is astronomically larger than 10^9
