0 - 000 0000 1001 - 0010 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0001 1110: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 000 0000 1001 - 0010 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0001 1110, a 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard to decimal?
1. Identify the elements that make up the binary representation of the number:
The first bit (the leftmost) indicates the sign,
1 = negative, 0 = positive.
0
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
000 0000 1001
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0010 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0001 1110
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
000 0000 1001(2) =
0 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1 =
8 + 1 =
9(10)
3. Adjust the exponent.
Subtract the excess bits: 2(11 - 1) - 1 = 1023,
that is due to the 11 bit excess/bias notation.
The exponent, adjusted = 9 - 1023 = -1014
4. Convert the mantissa from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The mantissa represents the fractional part of the number (what comes after the whole part of the number, separated from it by a comma).
0010 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0001 1110(2) =

5. Put all the numbers into expression to calculate the double precision floating point decimal value:
(-1)Sign × (1 + Mantissa) × 2(Adjusted exponent) =
(-1)0 × (1 + 0.125 244 140 625 063 504 757 008 558 954 112 231 731 414 794 921 875) × 2-1014 =
