Its a way of representing a non-integer number in a 32-bit word. The first 
26 bits are used to represent the integer portion of the number so the 
integer can vary from 0 to 67,108,864. The remaining 6 are used to 
represent the fractional portion.

Do a Google for fixed precision arithmetic or see Wikipedia
