That would be nice, but 1&#x2F;3 isn&#x27;t exactly representable in this representation.<p>Or are you suggesting that, when computing 1&#x2F;3, this number format picks the best representation for a given number of bits, keeping the &#x27;exact&#x27; bit, for 1&#x2F;3, and then magically decides that, say, 85&#x2F;256 and &#x27;exact&#x27; must be 1&#x2F;3, and not 85&#x2F;256, or whatever other expression that could be computed exactly gets close to it?
