I think that you have asked two questions and yes you are right. The MantissaExponent will give a mantissa between 0 and 1. For addition, this is not useful since all exponents need to be the same before you add the mantissas; which brings us back to square one.

| Feb 28, 2023 at 13:30 | comment | added | SaMaSo | @Syed Thanks, I didn't know about this function. However, it seems that this gives a mantissa different than that in scientific notation (where it should lie between 1 and 10). Am I right? | |

MantissaExponent /@ {12.34, 23.45, 345.6} ?
