0 - 100 0001 0000 - 0001 0010 1111 1100 0101 0000 0100 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point standard representation number converted to decimal system (base ten)
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 0001 0000
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0001 0010 1111 1100 0101 0000 0100 1000 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.
100 0001 0000(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 16 =
1,040(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 = 1,040 - 1023 = 17
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).

0 × 2-1 + 0 × 2-2 + 0 × 2-3 + 1 × 2-4 + 0 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 1 × 2-7 + 0 × 2-8 + 1 × 2-9 + 1 × 2-10 + 1 × 2-11 + 1 × 2-12 + 1 × 2-13 + 1 × 2-14 + 0 × 2-15 + 0 × 2-16 + 0 × 2-17 + 1 × 2-18 + 0 × 2-19 + 1 × 2-20 + 0 × 2-21 + 0 × 2-22 + 0 × 2-23 + 0 × 2-24 + 0 × 2-25 + 1 × 2-26 + 0 × 2-27 + 0 × 2-28 + 1 × 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 + 0 + 0 + 0.062 5 + 0 + 0 + 0.007 812 5 + 0 + 0.001 953 125 + 0.000 976 562 5 + 0.000 488 281 25 + 0.000 244 140 625 + 0.000 122 070 312 5 + 0.000 061 035 156 25 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 003 814 697 265 625 + 0 + 0.000 000 953 674 316 406 25 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 014 901 161 193 847 656 25 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 001 862 645 149 230 957 031 25 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
0.062 5 + 0.007 812 5 + 0.001 953 125 + 0.000 976 562 5 + 0.000 488 281 25 + 0.000 244 140 625 + 0.000 122 070 312 5 + 0.000 061 035 156 25 + 0.000 003 814 697 265 625 + 0.000 000 953 674 316 406 25 + 0.000 000 014 901 161 193 847 656 25 + 0.000 000 001 862 645 149 230 957 031 25 =
0.074 162 499 979 138 374 328 613 281 25(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 + 0.074 162 499 979 138 374 328 613 281 25) × 217 =
1.074 162 499 979 138 374 328 613 281 25 × 217 =
140 792.627 197 265 625
0 - 100 0001 0000 - 0001 0010 1111 1100 0101 0000 0100 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 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) = 140 792.627 197 265 625(10)
Spaces were used to group digits: for binary, by 4, for decimal, by 3.
