(a) The number 8/7 = 1.14285714285714... obviously has no exact representation in any decimal floating point system (B = 10) with finite precision I. Is there a finite floating point system (i.c., some finite integer base [3 and precision t) in which this number docs have an exact representation? If yes, then describe such a system.

(b) Answer the same question for the irrational number π.
