In [[computing]], '''decimal64''' is a [[decimal floating point|decimal floating-point]] [[computer number format]] that occupies 8 bytes (64 bits) in computer memory.
 
Decimal64 is a decimal floating-point format, formally introduced in the [[IEEE 754-2008 revision|2008 revision]]<ref name="IEEE-754_2008">{{cite book |title=IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic |author=IEEE Computer Society |date=2008-08-29 |publisher=[[IEEE]] |id=IEEE Std 754-2008 |doi=10.1109/IEEESTD.2008.4610935 |ref=CITEREFIEEE_7542008 |isbn=978-0-7381-5753-5 |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4610935 |access-date=2016-02-08}}</ref> of the [[IEEE 754]] standard, also known as ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011.<ref name="ISO-60559_2011">{{Cite book |last=ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25|title=ISO/IEC/IEEE 60559:2011 — Information technology — Microprocessor Systems — Floating-Point arithmetic |url=https://www.iso.org/standard/57469.html |publisher=ISO |pages=1–58 |date=June 2011}}</ref>
 
== Format ==
Line 12:
The binary format of the same size supports a range from denormal-min {{gaps|±5|||||e=-324|}}, over normal-min with full 53-bit precision {{gaps|±2.225|073|858|507|201|e=-308|4}} to max {{gaps|±1.797|693|134|862|315|e=+308|7}}.
 
Because the significand for the [[IEEE 754]] decimal formats is not normalized, most values with less than 16 [[significant digits]] have multiple possible representations; 1000000 × 10<sup>-2−2</sup>=100000 × 10<sup>-1−1</sup>=10000 × 10<sup>0</sup>=1000 × 10<sup>1</sup> all have the value 10000. These sets of representations for a same value are called ''[[Cohort (floating point)|cohorts]]'', the different members can be used to denote how many digits of the value are known precisely. Each signed zero has 768 possible representations (1536 for all zeros, in two different cohorts).
