Explanation / Answer

Numbers written in scientific notation are usually written in anormal form (for example the value of the fraction being written sothat it is between 1 and 10). If the result of some calculation is.0001 x 1015, then it must be normalized as

1.000 x 1011

The number is then changed to binary, andthe high order (most significant) bit is dropped since it is always1
