Fixed value of offset that has to be subtracted to get the true exponent. The error was probably a leftover from the Quadruple article.
Line 25:
* [[Exponent bias]] = 3FFFF<sub>16</sub> = 262143
 
Thus, as defined by the offset binary representation, in order to get the true exponent the offset of 16383262143 has to be subtracted from the stored exponent.
 
The stored exponents 00000<sub>16</sub> and 7FFFF<sub>16</sub> are interpreted specially.
