Need help solving this equation.
Determine the IEEE double-precision and single-precision machine representation of 64.37109375. Show your work and your final answer should be composed of three parts: sign, exponent, and mantissa (use 0...0 and indicate how many zeros if the remained part is all zeros).Solution
Single precision format:
given number is 64.37109375
first convert number into binary format
64 = > 1000000
0.37109375 => 01011111
1000000.01011111 = 1.00000001011111 * 26
sign bit = 0
exponent (8 bit) = 127+6=133=10000101
mantissa (23 bit) : 000000010111110000000
double pricicion format:
sign bit : 0
0001000000.01011111 => 0.00100000001011111 x 28
exponent (11 bit) : 1023+8=1031=1000 000 000 0111
mantissa(52 bit) :00100000001011111000000 till 52 position
