Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...
In particular, IEEE 754 already uses "canonical NaN" with the meaning of "canonical encoding of a NaN" (e.g. "isCanonical(x) is true if and only if x is a finite number, infinity, or NaN that is canonical." page 38, but also for totalOrder page 42), thus a different meaning from what is used here. Please help clarify the section.
NaN is treated as if it had a larger absolute value than Infinity (or any other floating-point numbers). (−NaN < −Infinity; +Infinity < +NaN.) qNaN and sNaN are treated as if qNaN had a larger absolute value than sNaN. (−qNaN < −sNaN; +sNaN < +qNaN.) NaN is then sorted according to the payload.

The decimal number 0.15625 10 represented in binary is 0.00101 2 (that is, 1/8 + 1/32). (Subscripts indicate the number base.) Analogous to scientific notation, where numbers are written to have a single non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, we rewrite this number so it has a single 1 bit to the left of the "binary point". We simply ...
