Line 56:
This includes [[subnormal numbers]] where the leading significand digit is 0.
If the 4 bits after the sign bit are "1100", "1101", or "1110", then the 10-bit exponent field is shifted 2 bits to the right (after both the sign bit and the "11" bits thereafter), and the represented significand is in the remaining 51 bits. In this case there is an implicit (that is, not stored) leading 3-bit sequence "100" for the most bits of the true significand (in the remaining lower bits ''ttt...ttt'' of the significand
