Pursuant to our discussion of the double-double example, I think the
components of 1/3 are
dec quad 0.333333333333333314829616256247390993
dec double 3.333333333333333148E-1
hex double .AAAA AAAA AAAA A8H-1
dec quad 1.85037170770859423243444449316200398E-0017
dec double 1.850371707708594131E-17
hex double .AAAA AAAA AAAA A8H-55
If I understand the C hex representation which I haven't used myself,
it would be
0x0.AAAAAAAAAAAAA8p-1
0x0.AAAAAAAAAAAAA8p-55
And the representations for two thirds would be
0x0.AAAAAAAAAAAAA8p0
0x0.AAAAAAAAAAAAA8p-54
Very convenient.
