A lot. For instance, "Many non-integral values, such as decimal 0.2,
have an infinite place-value representation in binary (.001100110011...)
but have a finite place-value in binary-coded decimal (0.0010).
Consequently a system based on binary-coded decimal representations of
decimal fractions avoids errors representing and calculating such
values." from
