Line 5:
The magnitude of the smallest normal number in a format is given by ''b''<sup>''emin''</sup>, where ''b'' is the base (radix) of the format (usually 2 or 10) and ''emin'' depends on the size and layout of the format.
Similarly, the magnitude of the largest normal number in a format is given by
:''b''<sup>''emax''</sup> × (''b'' − ''b''<sup>1−''p''</sup>), where ''p'' is the precision of the format in [[digit]]s and ''emax'' is (−''emin'')+1. In the [[IEEE 754]] binary and proposed decimal formats, ''p'', ''emin'', and ''emax'' have the following values:
