0 - 101 1111 0000 - 0011 0010 0111 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 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:
101 1111 0000
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
0011 0010 0111 0000 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.
101 1111 0000(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 1 × 28 + 1 × 27 + 1 × 26 + 1 × 25 + 1 × 24 + 0 × 23 + 0 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 =
1,024 + 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 =
1,520(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 = 1,520 - 1023 = 497
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).
0011 0010 0111 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000(2) =
0 × 2-1 + 0 × 2-2 + 1 × 2-3 + 1 × 2-4 + 0 × 2-5 + 0 × 2-6 + 1 × 2-7 + 0 × 2-8 + 0 × 2-9 + 1 × 2-10 + 1 × 2-11 + 1 × 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 + 0 × 2-52 =
0 + 0 + 0.125 + 0.062 5 + 0 + 0 + 0.007 812 5 + 0 + 0 + 0.000 976 562 5 + 0.000 488 281 25 + 0.000 244 140 625 + 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 =
0.125 + 0.062 5 + 0.007 812 5 + 0.000 976 562 5 + 0.000 488 281 25 + 0.000 244 140 625 =
0.197 021 484 375(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 + 0.197 021 484 375) × 2497 =
1.197 021 484 375 × 2497 =
489 789 860 550 377 917 134 847 078 965 628 620 706 732 054 191 563 313 685 198 290 337 382 324 333 865 946 734 395 546 346 249 636 307 092 206 185 224 213 505 804 205 592 177 614 811 415 703 453 696
