Question Paper

IEEE floating point representation for single precision number uses the format as:

Sign bit bit) Biased exponent bits) Significant (23 bits)
In this representation a floating point number where 0 E 255 having any significant bits is equivalent to
± -127). Using this format represent the following decimal numbers:

0·375

7

Now using the representation perform the following operations

0·250 x 7

0·375 7
