      A finite set \(D\) of integers with \(0\in D\) is basic for the base \(b\in{\mathbb Z}\) if every \(z\in{\mathbb Z}\) can be written uniquely as an integer in the base \(b\) with digits from \(D\). The fraction set \(F\) for \((b,D)\) is the set of all representable numbers with integer part zero. The author shows that if \((b,D)\) is basic and \(D\) consists of consecutive integers, then \(F\) is an interval of length \(1\) and the endpoints of \(F\) have redundant representations. If \(D\) does not consist of consecutive digits, then \(F\) is disconnected.
