64 Bit IEEE 754 Binary to Double: Convert 1 - 100 0000 1111 - 1000 0001 1100 1101 0110 1110 1001 1110 0001 1011 0000 0111 1100, Number Written in 64 Bit Double Precision IEEE 754 Binary Floating Point Standard Representation, to a Base Ten Decimal System Double
1 - 100 0000 1111 - 1000 0001 1100 1101 0110 1110 1001 1110 0001 1011 0000 0111 1100: 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.
1
The next 11 bits contain the exponent:
100 0000 1111
The last 52 bits contain the mantissa:
1000 0001 1100 1101 0110 1110 1001 1110 0001 1011 0000 0111 1100
2. Convert the exponent from binary (from base 2) to decimal (in base 10).
The exponent is allways a positive integer.
100 0000 1111(2) =
1 × 210 + 0 × 29 + 0 × 28 + 0 × 27 + 0 × 26 + 0 × 25 + 0 × 24 + 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20 =
1,024 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
1,024 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
1,039(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 = 1,039 - 1023 = 16
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).
