I see that floating point numbers are stored in memory as an exponent and a mantissa (also called a significand). I understand what an exponent is but what is a mantissa? ... For example, the mantissa of the number 12.345 is .345. The data storage of floating-point numbers contain a sign, an exponent and a mantissa.

Floating-point solves a number of representation problems. Fixed-point has a fixed window of representation, which limits it from representing very large or very ... The mantissa, also known as the significand, represents the precision bits of the number. It is composed of an implicit leading bit and the fraction bits.

mantissa - The part of a floating point number which, when multiplied by its radix raised to the power of its exponent, gives its value. The mantissa may include the number's sign or this may be considered to be a separate part.
