Hi guys, my first ever post.
I want to convert a floating point number such as 3.1147 to 11.0001110101011101. Has anyone attempted this before in Arduino?

Perhaps, but it only makes sense if you do it yourself 
I'd consider this a very proprietary format. ( 1.1 probably means 20+2-1 = 1.510 ?)

wonder what you mean...
by that what I try to say is that if in arduino you create a variable 'float x = 3.1147' after compile time that value is store in the processor as a binary number! how it's stored is a whole different matter but its in zeros and ones! 
Google "fixed point format"

That's what it already is. So you must be talking about a print routine.
In the school, when the pupils are asked to find the binary equivalent of 3.1147 using paper-pencil, they will come up with 11.0001110101011101.
In the machine, when a computer is asked to find the binary equivalent of 3.1147 using binary32/IEEE-754 standard (Fig-1), it will come up with 0100 0000 0100 0111 0101 0111 0011 1111 (0x4047573F). In the school, the students can also use the given template of Fig-1, and they will come up with the same result.

Storing digital data in a "float" built from positive and negative powers of 2 is common. It is used in the temperature registers of the DS3231 and the DS18B20.
Having the smallest increment being 2 exp -16 is unusual.
(hit and run) OP: It is stored as a mantissa and exponent. But my point was that you can easily construct 11.0001110101011101 from that. I didn't see where you specified whether the decimal was fixed or not.
