Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The most significant bit is the sign bit (S), with 0 for positive numbers and 1 for negative numbers.
Normalize significand: 1.0 ? |significand| < 2.0
Always has a leading pre-binary-point 1 bit, so no need to represent it explicitly (hidden bit)
The following 9 bits represent exponent (E).(0 TO 511)
E is : actual exponent + Bias
Bias = 255;
The remaining 38 bits represents fraction (F).
Width of representation
smallest value :
Exponent: 000000001 because 000000000 is reserved
actual exponent = 1 – 255 = –254
Fraction: 000…00 \rightarrow significand = 1.0
