0 - 110 0011 0010 - 1110 1110 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0110: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 110 0011 0010 - 1110 1110 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0110, 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:
110 0011 0010
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1110 1110 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0110
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
110 0011 0010(2) =
1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 512 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 =
1,024 + 512 + 32 + 16 + 2 =
1,586(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 = 1,586 - 1023 = 563
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)0 × (1 + 0.929 931 640 625 001 332 267 629 550 187 848 508 358 001 708 984 375) × 2563 =
