Expert Solution
Step 1

IEEE 64 bit binary system

1 bit represents the sign

11 bits are used to represent the exponent, and

The remaining 52 bits are used for the significand.

Sign bit Exponent bits Significand bits
1 11 52

The number is represented in the form:

(-1)s×(1.f) ×2(exponent-1023)

where s is +1 or -1 and f is significand value.
