Abstract

The b-parts of real numbers and the generalized division algorithm were considered and discussed in [3]. Also some of their algebraic properties have been studied in [4]. In this paper we continue it and introduce a unique finite representation of real numbers to the base of an arbitrary real number b ≠ 0, ± 1 (namely finite b-representation), by using them. Finally we prove a necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite b-representation to be digital.
