0 - 111 0001 0100 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011 1100: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 111 0001 0100 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011 1100, 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:
111 0001 0100
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0011 1100
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
111 0001 0100(2) =
1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 512 + 256 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 512 + 256 + 16 + 4 =
1,812(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 = 1,812 - 1023 = 789
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 + 0.000 000 000 000 013 322 676 295 501 878 485 083 580 017 089 843 75) × 2789 =
