0 - 011 0110 0000 - 0110 0011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1011: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 011 0110 0000 - 0110 0011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1011, 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:
011 0110 0000
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0110 0011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1011
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
011 0110 0000(2) =
0 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
0 + 512 + 256 + 0 + 64 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
512 + 256 + 64 + 32 =
864(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 = 864 - 1023 = -159
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).
0110 0011 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 1011(2) =
0 × 2-1 + 1 × 2-2 + 1 × 2-3 + 0 × 2-4 + 0 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 1 × 2-7 + 1 × 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 + 0 × 2-42 + 0 × 2-43 + 0 × 2-44 + 0 × 2-45 + 1 × 2-46 + 0 × 2-47 + 0 × 2-48 + 1 × 2-49 + 0 × 2-50 + 1 × 2-51 + 1 × 2-52 =

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 + 0.386 718 750 000 016 653 345 369 377 348 106 354 475 021 362 304 687 5) × 2-159 =
