Basic indexing question Find ismember

Hi World,
I would like to create an index of a matrix based on a vector to resize this array by extracting the indexed rows:
X=(0.5:0.5:17)';
F=(1/52:1/52:30+1/52)';
Q=find(ismember(F,X));
But there are missing values from Q while I can see them in the workspace.
Can you help?

Basically the numbers that you see are only decimal approximations of the real binary values stored in the computer's memory. With calculations involving decimal fractions these values can differ by a small amount even though they look they same when you look at them in the command window or variable viewer. However they will fail an equality test, and so are not considered to be equal, thus ismember does not match them.
