Binary scaling: Difference between revisions

Overview: correction since the product of 1.2 (resp. 5.6) by 2^16 is not an exact integer
Overview: again, an approximation
Line 20:
To convert it back to B16, divide it by 2<sup>16</sup>.
 
This gives 440400B16, which when converted back to a floating -point number (by dividing again by 2<sup>16</sup>, but holding the result as floating point) gives 6.71997 approximately. The correct result is 6.72.
