title: Floating point representation can support larger values in comparision to integer representation
body: <p>I have googled over this,but couldn't find <strong>how</strong>, although it is a simple thing to answer for someone who knows it. I want to know <strong>how</strong> floating point can store large numbers which can't be stoed by integer representation. In the tutorials all that I could read about significand,exponent and bases but couldn't find my answer. Could anyone come up to solve it? For example,I have to represent a number larger than 2147483647 in a 32-bit system, then how it is done in floating point representation as opposed to integer representation. </p>
