0 - 100 0010 0000 - 0000 0000 0000 1100 0000 0000 0110 0000 0000 0011 0000 0010 0000: 64 bit double precision IEEE 754 binary floating point representation standard converted to decimal
What are the steps to convert
0 - 100 0010 0000 - 0000 0000 0000 1100 0000 0000 0110 0000 0000 0011 0000 0010 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.
0
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
100 0010 0000
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0000 0000 0000 1100 0000 0000 0110 0000 0000 0011 0000 0010 0000
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0010 0000(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 32 =
1,056(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 = 1,056 - 1023 = 33
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 1100 0000 0000 0110 0000 0000 0011 0000 0010 0000(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 + 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 + 1 × 2-26 + 1 × 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 + 1 × 2-39 + 1 × 2-40 + 0 × 2-41 + 0 × 2-42 + 0 × 2-43 + 0 × 2-44 + 0 × 2-45 + 0 × 2-46 + 1 × 2-47 + 0 × 2-48 + 0 × 2-49 + 0 × 2-50 + 0 × 2-51 + 0 × 2-52 =
0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 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 + 0.000 000 014 901 161 193 847 656 25 + 0.000 000 007 450 580 596 923 828 125 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 001 818 989 403 545 856 475 830 078 125 + 0.000 000 000 000 909 494 701 772 928 237 915 039 062 5 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 000 000 000 007 105 427 357 601 001 858 711 242 675 781 25 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
0.000 122 070 312 5 + 0.000 061 035 156 25 + 0.000 000 014 901 161 193 847 656 25 + 0.000 000 007 450 580 596 923 828 125 + 0.000 000 000 001 818 989 403 545 856 475 830 078 125 + 0.000 000 000 000 909 494 701 772 928 237 915 039 062 5 + 0.000 000 000 000 007 105 427 357 601 001 858 711 242 675 781 25 =

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 + 0.000 183 127 823 227 380 304 160 760 715 603 828 430 175 781 25) × 233 =
1.000 183 127 823 227 380 304 160 760 715 603 828 430 175 781 25 × 233 = ...
= 8 591 507 648.023 498 535 156 25
