Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Floating Point Format The exponent follows using e bits. To avoid having to represent negative exponents a bias of 2e − 1 − 1 is added to the true exponent. For instance, if 8 bits are used for the exponent, the bias is 127.
Detailed explanation-2: -Extract the sign of the result from the two sign bits. Add the two exponents ( ). Multiply mantissa of ( ) by mantissa of ( ) considering the hidden bits. If the MSB of the product is. Due to this, the exponent is to be incremented according to the one bit right shift. 26-Feb-2020
