COMMENTS
Smallest positive representable value in IEEE-754 double-precision floating-point format when subnormal numbers (or denormalized numbers) are supported. See the Wikipedia link below for the double-precision representation of this number (sixty-three 0's and one 1).
The last term is a(427) = 5.
Some other facts about double-precision numbers: (i) there are 2^64 - 2^53 - 1 = 18437736874454810623 representable numbers, because all 1's in the 11-bit exponent results in positive or negative infinity (depending on the sign bit), and 0 has two representations (all 0's or one 1 followed by sixty-three 0's); (ii) the largest representable number is 2^1024 - 2^971 = 1.7976931348623157...*10^308 (sign bit = 0, exponent = 11111111110, fraction = fifty-two 1's); (iii) the smallest non-representable positive integer is 2^53 + 1 = 9007199254740993.
