I am trying to convert 3.984375 * 10^(-1) to binary notation. This is the easiest way I've found but I'm having trouble.
in decimal: $$3.984375*10^{-1} = 0.3984375$$
$$\frac{51}{128} = \frac{110011}{2^7} = 110011 * 2^{-7} = 1.10011 * 2^{-2}$$
How do I go from decimal to fraction easily? That took me a long time.
I have another:
3.4375*10^{-1} = .34375 in decimal.
How do I take this to a fraction?
