The binary representation of a Decimal value consists of a 1-bit sign, a 96-bit integer number, and a scaling factor used to divide the 96-bit integer and specify what portion of it is a decimal fraction.
Notice that the floating point value of 0.1 is not represented as an exact value, so the representation as a float is different from the Decimal value. Less conveniently, Decimals can also be created from tuples containing a sign flag (0 for positive, 1 for negative), a tuple of digits, and an integer exponent.
