It is the way computers store Irrational Numbers. e.g. in a 4-byte binary float, which contains 32 digits of 0 and 1. the first digit says whether the number stored is positive or negative. The next 8 digits store the value of the power of 10 when the number is in scientific notation, and the remaining 23 digits store the actual digits of the number.
