When 32 bits are used to represent a floating number, 1 bit is used for sign, 8 bits for exponential and 23 bits for the mantissa. What are the largest and smallest value can be represented? What is the precision of the system? For 64 bit system - 1 bit for sign, 11 bits for exponential and 52 bits for mantissa (20 21+ 22+ 2-3, - (2 - 2-52 ) x 21023- 21024 + 2-52) x 21023
