0 - 110 1010 1110 - 1010 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 0010: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 110 1010 1110 - 1010 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 0010, 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 1010 1110
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1010 0000 0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0101 0010
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
110 1010 1110(2) =
1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 1 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 512 + 0 + 128 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 0 =
1,024 + 512 + 128 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 2 =
1,710(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 = 1,710 - 1023 = 687
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 + 0.625 007 629 394 549 457 657 603 852 567 262 947 559 356 689 453 125) × 2687 =
