1
 Fixed point numbers:
◦ Consists of integer and a fraction

◦ The value of the number is

◦ The position of the point is fixed

2
 Example: Find the fixed-point number (01110.111)2 in
decimal

3
 Example: Convert the number (23.625)10 to fixed point
binary

4
 Fixed point number have a range that is limited by the
significant digits
 Sometimes its very important to have a big range and
accurate fraction part
 The IEEE standard for floating point

◦ Mantissa is the significant digits

◦ Exponent
◦ Radix R

5
 We have two precisions
◦ Single 32- bit or double 64 bit
