5.375
here know 5=101
now for 0.375

0.375
*2
____________=0 .collect top to bottom
.
0.750 .
*2 .
____________=1 .
1.500

0.500
*2
____________=1
1.000

Nice answer vinoth thank you.

5.375

5 --> 101

0.375 * 2 = 0.75
0.75 * 2 = 1.5
0.5 * 2 = 1.0
Here the binary position like
.. 32 16 8 4 2 1
........................
1 1 = who is 1 add it that is 4+1=5. ok then remaing point matter

.375
in binary point conversion of divide by 2
and then LSB and MSB
0.375 *2 = 0.75 consider that 0
0.75 * 2 = 1.5 consider that 1
0.5 * 2 = 1.0 consider that 1
top to down
that is 011
and 5 is
101.011

Q.The binary equalent of 5.375 is ..........
ans1)
5 binary equalent is 101
0.375 binary equalent is 3-011
7-111
5-101
take the first bit of 3,7,5 that is 011
so total correct ans is 101.011

The above ans like this also..
2/375(1)
2/187(1)
3/93(0)
2/31(1)
3/15(0)
2/5(1)
2/2(0)
1
finally result is:10101111->101.011

@Susmita

Nice explanation.
