Question#1 Solution:

11000100110110101011010111000111.
Convert the following 32-Bit Binary Floating-Point Number into a Decimal Number.

To convert the 32-bit binary floating-point number


11000100110110101011010111000111 into its decimal equivalent, we need to
follow the IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point format.
IEEE 754 Single-Precision Format Breakdown:
 1 bit for the sign (S)
 8 bits for the exponent (E)
 23 bits for the fraction (mantissa) (M)
Given Number:
11000100110110101011010111000111
This is a 32-bit number, so we will break it down into its parts:
 Sign bit (S): 1
 Exponent bits (E): 10001001
 Mantissa bits (M): 10110101011010111000111

Step-by-Step Conversion:
1. Sign (S):
 The sign bit S = 1, so the number is negative.
2. Exponent (E):
 The exponent is given by the 8 bits 10001001. First, convert it to decimal:
100010012
= 1 * 2 7+ 0 * 2 6 + 0 * 2 5 + 0 * 2 4 + 1 * 2 3 + 0 * 2 2 + 0 * 2 1 + 1 * 2 0
= 128 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 1
= 137
100010012=13710
The exponent in IEEE 754 is stored with a bias of 127. So, we subtract 127 from
the exponent value to get the actual exponent:
137−127=10
Therefore, the exponent E = 10.
3. Mantissa (M):
10110101011010111000111

In IEEE 754 format, the mantissa (or fraction) is assumed to have an implicit
leading 1 in normalized form. So, we can write the mantissa as:

1.10110101011010111000111

Convert 1.10110101011010111000111 to decimal

The integer part is 1

For the fractional part 10110101011010111000111, we interpret each binary digit


after the decimal point as a negative power of 2:

Now, convert this binary number to decimal:


1.101101010110101110001112
= 1 * 2-1 + 0 * 2-2 + 1 * 2-3 + 1 * 2-4 + 0 * 2-5 + 1 * 2-6 + 0 * 2-7 + 1 * 2-8 + 0 * 2-9 + 1 * 2-
10
+ 1 * 2-11 + 0 * 2-12 + 1 * 2-13 + 0 * 2-14 + 1 * 2-15 + 1 * 2-16 + 1 * 2-17 + 0 * 2-18 + 0 * 2-
19
+ 0 * 2-20 + 1 * 2-21 + 1 2-22 + 1 2-23
=0.5 + 0 + 0.125 + 0.0625 + 0 + 0.0156 + 0 + 0.0039 + 0 + 0.0009 + 0.0004 + 0 +
0.0001 + 0 + 0.00003 +0.00001 + 0.000007 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0
=0.7109375
So, the mantissa in decimal is:
Integer Part + Fractional Part
1 + 0.7109375
1.7109375 (approximately)
4. Final Calculation:
Now we can calculate the decimal value using the formula for IEEE 754
representation:
(−1) S × 1.M × 2E
Substitute the values we have:
(−1)1 × 1.7109375 × 210
Since the sign bit is 1, the result is negative:
−1.7109375 × 1024 = −1751.5
Final Answer:
The decimal equivalent of the 32-bit binary floating-point number
11000100110110101011010111000111 is -1751.5.
