== IEEE == In [[IEEE 754-2008|IEEE binary floating-point formats]], ''subnormals'' are represented by having a zero exponent field with a non-zero significand field.<ref name="Denormalized numbers">{{cite web |url=http://osr507doc.xinuos.com/en/topics/FltPtOps_DeNormNums.html |title=Denormalized numbers |publisher=Caldera International |access-date=11 October 2023}} (Note that the XenuOS documentation uses ''denormal'' where [[IEEE 754-2008|IEEE 754]] uses ''subnormal''.)</ref> No other denormalized numbers exist in the IEEE binary floating-point formats, but they ''do'' exist in some other formats, including the IEEE decimal floating-point formats.
