64 Bit IEEE 754 Binary to Double: Convert 0 - 000 0000 0001 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001, Number Written in 64 Bit Double Precision IEEE 754 Binary Floating Point Standard Representation, to a Base Ten Decimal System Double
0 - 000 0000 0001 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point standard representation number converted to a base ten decimal system double
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:
000 0000 0001
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
000 0000 0001(2) =
0 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 =
1 =
1(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 - 1023 = -1022
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).
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001(2) =
0 × 2-1 + 0 × 2-2 + 0 × 2-3 + 0 × 2-4 + 0 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 0 × 2-7 + 0 × 2-8 + 0 × 2-9 + 0 × 2-10 + 0 × 2-11 + 0 × 2-12 + 0 × 2-13 + 0 × 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 + 1 × 2-52 =
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 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 000 000 222 044 604 925 031 308 084 726 333 618 164 062 5 =
0.000 000 000 000 000 222 044 604 925 031 308 084 726 333 618 164 062 5 =
0.000 000 000 000 000 222 044 604 925 031 308 084 726 333 618 164 062 5(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)0 × (1 + 0.000 000 000 000 000 222 044 604 925 031 308 084 726 333 618 164 062 5) × 2-1022 =
1.000 000 000 000 000 222 044 604 925 031 308 084 726 333 618 164 062 5 × 2-1022 =
0
0 - 000 0000 0001 - 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 converted from a 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point standard representation number to a decimal system number, written in base ten (double) = 0(10)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
