How do you write binary numbers in scientific notation?

Answer 1

To write binary numbers in scientific notation, you express the number in the form of ( m \times 2^n ), where ( m ) is a binary number between 1.0 and 1.111... (which is the binary equivalent of 1), and ( n ) is an integer representing the exponent. For example, the binary number 101100 can be written as 1.01100 × 2^5. You shift the binary point to the right of the leading 1 and adjust the exponent accordingly.
