The rule for first normal form (1NF) is a table in which the intersection of every column and record contains only one value. In other words a table that contains more than one atomic value in the intersection of one or more column for one or more records is not in 1NF. The non 1NF table can be converted to 1NF by restructuring original table by removing the column with the multi-values along with a copy of the primary key to create a new table. See Figure 8.4 for an example of this approach. The advantage of this approach is that the resultant tables may be in normal forms later that 1NF.

Perform addition and subtraction operation on the following two floating point operands.
A = 0 10001 011011
B = 1 01111 101010
A and B are represented in a 12-bit format. The scale factor has an implied base of 2 and a 5-bit excess-15 exponent. The 6-bit mantissa is normalized as in the IEEE format, with an implied 1 to the left of the binary point.
