Question: In the following task, convert a 32- bit binary floating-point number to decimal
Floating-Point number

11000100110110101011010111000111

Solution:
The given binary number is:

11000100110110101011010111000111

Sign bit: The first bit is 1, and this means that the number is negative

Exponent: The next eight bits are 10001001. This is the biased exponent where the bias equals to 127.

Therefore, the exponent value is;

E = 100010010_2 = 137 (in decimal representation)

The unbiased exponent reads as;

unbiased = E - 127 = 137 - 127 = 10

Fraction: The following twenty three bits are 10110101011010111000111. This denotes the fractional part,
the fraction becomes;

F = 1.10110101011010111000111₂

Now, we take the fraction 1.10110101011010111000111₂ and convert it to decimal.

F = 1 + (1/2) + (1/8) + (1/16) + (1/32) + (1/64) + (1/128)

F ≈ 1.7109375

We have determined the sign, exponent, and the fraction, now using the three we shall evaluate the integer
using the equation of floating point number given as:
S F
(−1) XF X 2
Substituting the values:
1 10
(−1) X 1.7109375 X 2
−1 X 1.7109375 X 1024
= -1757.8125
The decimal equivalent of the binary floating-point number 11000100110110101011010111000111 is -
1757.8125.
