- Consider the following representation of a number in IEEE 754 single-precision floating point format with a bias of 127.
\[ S : 1 E : 10000001 F : 11110000000000000000000 \] Here \( S \), \( E \), and \( F \) denote the sign, exponent, and fraction components of the floating-point representation.
