  2. Significand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significand

    In 1946, Arthur Burks used the terms mantissa and characteristic to describe the two parts of a floating-point number (Burks [11] et al.) by analogy with the then-prevalent common logarithm tables: the characteristic is the integer part of the logarithm (i.e. the exponent), and the mantissa is the fractional part.

  3. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    The way in which the significand (including its sign) and exponent are stored in a computer is implementation-dependent. The common IEEE formats are described in detail later and elsewhere, but as an example, in the binary single-precision (32-bit) floating-point representation, p = 24 {\displaystyle p=24} , and so the significand is a string ...

  4. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    The integer n is called the exponent and the real number m is called the significand or mantissa. [1] The term "mantissa" can be ambiguous where logarithms are involved, because it is also the traditional name of the fractional part of the common logarithm. If the number is negative then a minus sign precedes m, as in

  5. Half-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-precision_floating...

    Sign bit: 1 bit; Exponent width: 5 bits; Significand precision: 11 bits (10 explicitly stored) The format is laid out as follows: The format is assumed to have an implicit lead bit with value 1 unless the exponent field is stored with all zeros. Thus, only 10 bits of the significand appear in the memory format but the total precision is 11 bits.

  6. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating...

    The sign bit determines the sign of the number, which is the sign of the significand as well. The exponent field is an 8-bit unsigned integer from 0 to 255, in biased form: a value of 127 represents the actual exponent zero.

  8. IEEE 754-1985 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-1985

    Now we can read off the fraction and the exponent: the fraction is .01 2 and the exponent is −3. As illustrated in the pictures, the three fields in the IEEE 754 representation of this number are: sign = 0, because the number is positive. (1 indicates negative.) biased exponent = −3 + the "bias".
