Labels:text | font | screenshot | document OCR: c. Almost all computers use a floating point binary representation for numbers. In this system, every number is expressed in the form O.d1d2 ... dn x 2111, where di = 1, di = 0 or 1 for i = 2,3 ,..., n, and m is an integer. For example, the floating point representation of the numbers in part (a) would be: 625 = 0.1001110001 x 210 6.25 = 0.11001 x 23 0.0625 = 0.1 x 2-3 Different computers have differing capabilities both with respect to the length (n) of the string of 0's and 1's that can be stored for any single number and with respect to the exponent m that can be stored. The limits available for n and m determine the largest and smallest number a computer can represent and also the size of the errors that must result when a number with an infinitely repeating representation must be stor ...
