"Floating-point representation - the most common solution - basically represents reals in scientific notation. Scientific notation represents numbers as a base number and an exponent. For example, 123.456 could be represented as 1.23456 × 102. In hexadecimal, the number 123.abc might be represented as 1.23abc × 162."
Best overall resource I found was:

Thanks for the tip Graham! :)
((( Floyd made his post while I was researching and writing up mine. Thanks for yours as well. :)))
