Abstract
A digital computer is considered, whose memory words are composed of
N
r
-state devices plus two sign bits (two state devices). The choice of base
β
for the internal representation of floating-point numbers on such a computer is discussed. It is shown that in a certain sense
β
=
r
is best.
