significand

significand(x)

Extract the significand(s) (a.k.a. mantissa), in binary representation, of a floating-point number or array. If x is a non-zero finite number, than the result will be a number of the same type on the interval $[1,2)$. Otherwise x is returned.

julia> significand(15.2)/15.2
0.125

julia> significand(15.2)*8
15.2
