0 - 100 0000 1000 - 0001 1011 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 1001 0001: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 100 0000 1000 - 0001 1011 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 1001 0001, 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:
100 0000 1000
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0001 1011 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 1001 0001
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0000 1000(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 8 =
1,032(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 = 1,032 - 1023 = 9
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).
0001 1011 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 1001 0001(2) =
0 × 2-1 + 0 × 2-2 + 0 × 2-3 + 1 × 2-4 + 1 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 1 × 2-7 + 1 × 2-8 + 1 × 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 + 1 × 2-44 + 1 × 2-45 + 0 × 2-46 + 0 × 2-47 + 1 × 2-48 + 0 × 2-49 + 0 × 2-50 + 0 × 2-51 + 1 × 2-52 =

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 + 0.107 421 875 000 089 039 886 574 937 554 541 975 259 780 883 789 062 5) × 29 =
