+A seperate sign '-' can be used to represent negative reals using equation \eqref{fixedpointZ}.
 
 To express a real number using equation \eqref{fixedpointZ} in practice we are limited to a finite number of terms between $i = -m$ and $i = n$. Fixed point representations are capable of representing a discrete set of numbers $0 \leq |z| \leq \beta^{n+1}-\beta^{-m}$ seperated by $\Delta z = \beta^{-m} \leq 1$. In the case $m = 0$, only integers can be represented.
