For example, monthly measurements of the rainfall in London might be normalised by dividing each one by the total for the year to give a profile of rainfall throughout the year. 2. Representation of a floating-point number so that itsmantissa' s left-most digit is non-zero. If the leftmost fraction digit are zeros, the number issaid to be unnormalised. Unnormalised numbers are normalised by shifting the fraction left, one digit at a time, until the leftmost digit is nonzero and reducing the exponent by the number of shifts. 3. se> database normalisation.
