1 - 100 0000 0010 - 1010 1001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0011: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
1 - 100 0000 0010 - 1010 1001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0011, 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.
1
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
100 0000 0010
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1010 1001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0011
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0000 0010(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 =
1,024 + 2 =
1,026(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 = 1,026 - 1023 = 3
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).

5. Put all the numbers into expression to calculate the double precision floating point decimal value:
(-1)Sign × (1 + Mantissa) × 2(Adjusted exponent) =
(-1)1 × (1 + 0.660 156 250 000 014 876 988 529 977 097 641 676 664 352 416 992 187 5) × 23 =
