The exponent is −2 (and in the biased form it is (+ ()) = = ( )) The fraction is 0 (looking to the right of binary point in 1.0 is all zeroes) From these we can form the resulting 32-bit IEEE 754 binary32 format representation of real number 0.25:
Similarly, if the final digit on the right of the decimal mark is zero—that is, if b n = 0 —it may be removed; conversely, trailing zeros may be added after the decimal mark without changing the represented number; [note 1] for example, 15 = 15.0 = 15.00 and 5.2 = 5.20 = 5.200.

[6] [2] [7] In some specialized contexts, the word decimal is instead used for this purpose (such as in International Civil Aviation Organization-regulated air traffic control communications). In mathematics, the decimal separator is a type of radix point, a term that also applies to number systems with bases other than ten.
A more efficient encoding can be designed using the fact that the exponent range is of the form 3×2 k, so the exponent never starts with 11. Using the Decimal32 encoding (with a significand of 3*2+1 decimal digits) as an example (e stands for exponent, m for mantissa, i.e. significand):

It is the first unique prime, such that the period length value of 1 of the decimal expansion of its reciprocal, 0.333..., is unique. 3 is a twin prime with 5, and a cousin prime with 7, and the only known number such that ! − 1 and ! + 1 are prime, as well as the only prime number such that − 1 yields another prime number, 2.
However, 12 Fournier points turned out to be 11 Didot points, [11]: 142–145 giving a Fournier point of about 0.345 mm; later sources [12]: 60–61 state it as being 0.348 75 mm. To avoid confusion between the new and the old sizes, Didot also rejected the traditional names, thus parisienne became corps 5, nonpareille became corps 6, and so on.
