Question: Calculate by hand 8 . 6 2 5 x 1 0 1 divided by - 4 . 8 7 5 x 1 0 0 .

Calculate by hand 8.625 x101 divided by -4.875x100.
Assume there is a guard, a round bit, and a sticky bit, and use them if necessary.
Write the final answer in both the 16-bit floating point format described in Exercise 3.27 and in decimal.
A =8.625 x101=86.25=1.0101100100 x 26
B =-4.875 x100=-1.0011100000 x 22
Use the online binary calculator
Links to an external site., we get
(A's significand)/(B's significand)=1.00011011000100111011000100111...
With rounding off, we have A/B =-1.0001101100*2Y
What is the value of Y =
(a decimal digit)
The encoding of A/B in half-precision format is
0x
(4-digit hexadecimal number with upper case letter digits)
The decimal value of A/B in half precision format is in the form of -xx.yyyy.
What are the 4 decimal digits in the fraction (that is, yyyy)?
