How do you convert to floating-point?

Converting a number to floating point involves the following steps:

1. Set the sign bit - if the number is positive, set the sign bit to 0. ...
2. Divide your number into two sections - the whole number part and the fraction part.
3. Convert to binary - convert the two numbers into binary then join them together with a binary point.

How do you convert a floating point number into a decimal?

How do you convert a single-precision floating-point to decimal?

How to convert a single-precision binary float to decimal

1. A single-precision binary float is represented using 32-bits. ...
2. Bit numbering convention.
3. The fractional part is first converted into a decimal by summing all the 2 − n 2^-n 2−n​s (where n is the position of a bit in the fractional part that has a 1).
