scaling coefficients for c

Hi,
I understand the requirement of scaling coefficients for fixed point
microcontrollers. However, I cannot seem to get past a simple issue... How
do I code a fraction in binary form for use in c code or asm language?

for example, consider the fraction in base 10:
dec == 0.58642
and the same fraction in binary
bin == 0.1001011
and the same fraction in hex
0.961F9F01C

but how do I set a c variable in binary form for fractions?

thanks
.
