Floating point data

The length of the floating point field must be specified
as either  4 or 8 bytes. The range of values allowed for
a positive floating-point field are: 
 
  4 bytes       1.175 494 4 E-38 (MIN) 
                      3.402 823 5 E+38 (MAX) 
 
  8 bytes       2.225 073 858 507 201 E-308 (MIN)
                     1.797 693 134 862 315 E+308 (MAX) 
 
My question is: how it calculates?
 
Thanks.
