✅ Given:
The floating-point binary number is \( +1001.11_2 \).
We need to convert it into an 8-bit fraction and a 6-bit exponent format.
✅ Step 1: Normalize the Binary Number
We start by normalizing the binary number into scientific notation of the form:
\( 1.xxxx \times 2^n \)
Converting \( 1001.11_2 \) into scientific notation gives:
\( 1001.11_2 = 1.00111_2 \times 2^3 \)
The exponent is \( 3 \) (because the binary point is shifted 3 places to the left).
✅ Step 2: Convert the Exponent to Binary
The exponent is \( 3 \) in decimal. To represent this in binary using 6 bits, we get:
\( \text{Exponent} = 000100_2 \)
✅ Step 3: Convert the Fraction to 8 Bits
The fractional part of the normalized binary number is \( 00111 \). We need to extend it to 8 bits:
\( \text{Fraction} = 01001110_2 \)
✅ Final Answer:
The floating-point binary number \( +1001.11_2 \) in 8-bit fraction and 6-bit exponent format is:
Exponent: \( 000100_2 \), Fraction: \( 01001110_2 \)
