0 - 000 0010 0011 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1110 0010: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 000 0010 0011 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1110 0010, 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 0010 0011
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1110 0010
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
000 0010 0011(2) =
0 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 =
32 + 2 + 1 =
35(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 = 35 - 1023 = -988
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).
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1110 0010(2) =
0 × 2-1 + 0 × 2-2 + 0 × 2-3 + 0 × 2-4 + 0 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 0 × 2-7 + 0 × 2-8 + 0 × 2-9 + 0 × 2-10 + 0 × 2-11 + 0 × 2-12 + 0 × 2-13 + 0 × 2-14 + 0 × 2-15 + 0 × 2-16 + 0 × 2-17 + 0 × 2-18 + 0 × 2-19 + 0 × 2-20 + 0 × 2-21 + 0 × 2-22 + 0 × 2-23 + 0 × 2-24 + 0 × 2-25 + 0 × 2-26 + 0 × 2-27 + 0 × 2-28 + 0 × 2-29 + 0 × 2-30 + 0 × 2-31 + 0 × 2-32 + 0 × 2-33 + 0 × 2-34 + 0 × 2-35 + 0 × 2-36 + 0 × 2-37 + 0 × 2-38 + 0 × 2-39 + 0 × 2-40 + 0 × 2-41 + 1 × 2-42 + 0 × 2-43 + 0 × 2-44 + 1 × 2-45 + 1 × 2-46 + 1 × 2-47 + 0 × 2-48 + 0 × 2-49 + 0 × 2-50 + 1 × 2-51 + 0 × 2-52 =
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 000 227 373 675 443 232 059 478 759 765 625 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 000 028 421 709 430 404 007 434 844 970 703 125 + 0.000 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5 + 0.000 000 000 000 007 105 427 357 601 001 858 711 242 675 781 25 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 000 000 444 089 209 850 062 616 169 452 667 236 328 125 + 0 =
0.000 000 000 000 227 373 675 443 232 059 478 759 765 625 + 0.000 000 000 000 028 421 709 430 404 007 434 844 970 703 125 + 0.000 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5 + 0.000 000 000 000 007 105 427 357 601 001 858 711 242 675 781 25 + 0.000 000 000 000 000 444 089 209 850 062 616 169 452 667 236 328 125 =

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 + 0.000 000 000 000 277 555 756 156 289 135 105 907 917 022 705 078 125) × 2-988 =
