Question: Consider a hypothetical limited accuracy rounding computer that stores floats with 6-bit mantissas. (0.1) 10 ? = ( ...) 2 ? = ( ...) 2
Consider a hypothetical limited accuracy rounding computer that stores floats with 6-bit mantissas.
(0.1)10? = (
...)2? = (
...)2 *
? ?would be stored as 1.100110 *
?, which is in the form 1. ?????? x 2??.? It would be rewrittten as (51/512)10 = (0.099609375)10 in the base 10 decimal form.
Find the smallest real number that may be legally stored as this same value. Write the answer in 2 ways:
i) in base 2 floating point form (?.?? ......2 x 2?)
ii) as a base 10 decimal value
0.0001100
