0 - 100 0000 0111 - 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 100 0000 0111 - 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000, 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:
100 0000 0111
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0000 0111(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
1,024 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
1,031(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 = 1,031 - 1023 = 8
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).
1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0100 0000(2) =
1 × 2-1 + 1 × 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 + 0 × 2-42 + 0 × 2-43 + 0 × 2-44 + 0 × 2-45 + 1 × 2-46 + 0 × 2-47 + 0 × 2-48 + 0 × 2-49 + 0 × 2-50 + 0 × 2-51 + 0 × 2-52 =
0.5 + 0.25 + 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 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
0.5 + 0.25 + 0.000 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5 =
0.750 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5(10)
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 + 0.750 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5) × 28 =
1.750 000 000 000 014 210 854 715 202 003 717 422 485 351 562 5 × 28 = ...

Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
