Well, no, not usually. Most computer floating point is in binary, including the exponent. It displays as #.###E##, but internally it's 1.nnnnnnn x 2^e. Things that can be exactly represented as a decimal floating point can often not be exact in a binary floating point representation.
If you need to have accurate base-10 exponents, you can certainly store it that way. Similarly, if you need highly accurate conversions of mm to cm, you could store everything with the base unit of mm. You can also store values as rational numbers (i.e. fractions). So, 1/3 would be equal to ... 1/3.
