IEEE 754 Format and Binary Conversion

The video tutorial explains how to represent a number in IEEE 754 32-bit floating-point notation. It begins with converting the number 263.3 into its binary form, then shifts to converting this binary form into scientific notation. Finally, it details how to represent the number in IEEE 754 format, including determining the sign bit, exponent bits, and fraction bits. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to understanding the conversion process and the structure of IEEE 754 representation.

What is the first step in representing a number in IEEE 754 32-bit format?
