Signed Numbers

Example: +8 and -8 in 7 bit-binary number representation

represent +8 ==> 0 001000

ways to represent -8 :
signed-magnitude: 1 001000
signed-1's complement: 1 110111
signed-2's complement: 1 111000

Example: -2.5

represent -2.5 ==> 1 10.1

ways to represent -2.5 :
signed-magnitude: 1 10.1
signed-1's complement: 1 01.0
signed-2's complement: 1 01.1

Floating-Point Representation
 Show the IEEE 754 binary representation of the number 0.75 in single
and double precision.
The number 0.75 is also
3/4 or 3/22
It is also represented by the binary fraction
-11/22 or -0.11

In scientific notation, the value is

-0.11 X 20
 14

Floating-Point Representation
and in normalized scientific notation, it is

-1.1 X 2 -1
The general representation for a single precision number is
(-1)s X (1+Fraction) X 2 (Exponent – 127)
-0.75 can be represented as -(0.11)

The general representation for a double precision number is
(-1)s X (1+Fraction) X 2 (Exponent – 1023)

Floating Point addition and

subtraction
 Compare the magnitudes of the two exponents and make the
proper shifting of bits to the number with the smaller magnitude
of the exponent
 Perform addition/subtraction
 Perform normalization by shifting the resulting mantissa and
adjust the resulting exponent

Floating Point Multiplication

Step 1: Normalize the values
Step : Add the exponents without bias or with bias
Step 3: Multiply the significands
Step 4: check the result is normalized or not and check the exponent
for overflow or underflow
Step 5: if the sign of two given values is different then put the sign
for the result binary value
