Floating Point Representation:
I have to convert 21.426304 into an Unnormalized number. It has to be 16 bits long with a 1 bit sign, 5 bit exponent, and a 10 bit sinificand. I understand that you have to take the fraction of the original number or something along those lines but i have no clue how. Any help in understanding how to do this so i can continue on with the rest of the homework problem would be great...Thanks
