Binary Values 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1

Converting Binary of ABCDEF to Octal (in groups of 3 from right)

Groups of 3 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
5 2 7 4 6 7 5 7

Octal value of ABCDEF = (52746757)8

Binary presentation of 55.5 is : 110111.1

f) Normalise 110111.1 = (1.101111 x 25)

Mantissa - 23 Bit 10111100000000000000000

Exponent - 8 Bit

5+127(bias of 8 bit) = 132

132 = 10000100

Sign - 1 Bit (0 as the no. is positive)

(Sign Bit+Exponent+Mantissa) = 32 Bit

0 10000100 10111100000000000000000
