Binary to Decimal - Negative Fractions
Example of conversion to decimal of a binary signed fraction
Let's convert to decimal the following signed binary fraction: 1.01101.
1.01101 = -1 + 0×2-1 + 1×2-2 + 1×2-3
+ 0×2-4 + 1×2-5 = -0.59375.
Another way to convert the number is to find its 2's complement: we invert all the bits, and add 1:
0.10010 + 1 = 0.10011. Then 1.01101 = -(1×2-1 + 1×2-4 + 1×2-5) = -0.59375
