IEEE 754 32 and 64 bit

262 Views Asked by At

I know that in each IEEE 754 number representation the number is in the format of $\text{sign}*\text{Exp}*1.\text{Mantissa}$.

In the case of 64 bit with have: 1 bit for the sign, 11 bits for the exponent and 52 for the mantissa, so where does $1$ (as each number starts 1.) is stored?
