 .. opcode:: DFRACEXP - Convert Number to Fractional and Integral Components
 
+Like the ``frexp()`` routine in many math libraries, this opcode stores the
+exponent of its source to ``dst0``, and the significand to ``dst1``, such that
+:math:`dst1 \times 2^{dst0} = src` .

 .. math::
 
-  dst0.xy = frexp(src.xy, dst1.xy)

+.. opcode:: DLDEXP - Multiply Number by Integral Power of 2
 
-.. opcode:: DLDEXP - Multiple Number by Integral Power of 2
+This opcode is the inverse of :opcode:`DFRACEXP`.
