Step 1
1 of 2We are looking for positive integers such that the number can be represented exactly with no rounding error in double precision floating point arithmetic.
We have
Thus,
Then, as the number can be represented exactly with no rounding error in double precision floating point arithmetic, we have
So, we can Add 1 as bit of the mantissa.
Hence,
Therefore,
As we are looking for positive integers, then
