Subtract the largest power of 2 that does not exceed the input number.
32.5 - 32 = 0.25 so the left most bit of your answer is 1.
Subtract the next smaller power of 2. The next four subtractions each add a zero to your answer. So far the answer has 5 bits: 10000
Place a decimal point and continue subtracting: 10000.01
The .01 indicates no "point 1/2" and there is a "point zero 1/4".
This is almost never done in real life. They switch to floating point instead.
