1 - 111 0111 0111 - 1101 1001 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
1 - 111 0111 0111 - 1101 1001 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 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.
1
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
111 0111 0111
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1101 1001 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
111 0111 0111(2) =
1 × 210 + 1 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
1,024 + 512 + 256 + 0 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
1,024 + 512 + 256 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
1,911(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 = 1,911 - 1023 = 888
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).
1101 1001 0000 1100 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000(2) =
1 × 2-1 + 1 × 2-2 + 0 × 2-3 + 1 × 2-4 + 1 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 0 × 2-7 + 1 × 2-8 + 0 × 2-9 + 0 × 2-10 + 0 × 2-11 + 0 × 2-12 + 1 × 2-13 + 1 × 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 + 0 × 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 + 0.062 5 + 0.031 25 + 0 + 0 + 0.003 906 25 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 122 070 312 5 + 0.000 061 035 156 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 =
0.5 + 0.25 + 0.062 5 + 0.031 25 + 0.003 906 25 + 0.000 122 070 312 5 + 0.000 061 035 156 25 =
0.847 839 355 468 75(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)1 × (1 + 0.847 839 355 468 75) × 2888 =
-1.847 839 355 468 75 × 2888 = ...
