1 - 100 0101 0100 - 1010 0100 0101 0101 0111 1100 1010 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
1 - 100 0101 0100 - 1010 0100 0101 0101 0111 1100 1010 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 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 0101 0100
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1010 0100 0101 0101 0111 1100 1010 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0101 0100(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 64 + 16 + 4 =
1,108(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 = 1,108 - 1023 = 85
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).
1010 0100 0101 0101 0111 1100 1010 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011(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)1 × (1 + 0.641 929 427 161 813 448 421 412 431 343 924 254 179 000 854 492 187 5) × 285 =
