Let $f$ be a binary form of degree $l\geq3$, that is, a product of linear forms with integer coefficients. The principal result of this paper is an asymptotic formula of the shape $n^{2/l}(C(f)+O(n^{-\eta_l+\varepsilon}))$ for the number of positive integers not exceeding $n$ that are representable by $f$; here $C(f)>0$ and $\eta_l>0$.
