For every floating point number there is a corresponding real number, but 0% of real numbers can be represented exactly by floating point numbers.

It seems to me that there are a great many real numbers that can be represented exactly by floating point numbers. The number 1 is an example.

I suppose that if you divide that count by the infinite count of all real numbers, you could argue that the result is 0%.
