Consider the following two 16-bit floating-point representations 1. Format A There is one sign bit There are k = 7 exponent bits. The exponent bias is 63 (0111111) There are n = 8 fraction/mantissa bits 2. Format B There is one sign bit There are k = 8 exponent bits. The exponent bias is 127 (01111111) There are n = 7 fraction/mantissa bits
