To align a float number with spaces, we can use String.Format() in C#, here is the example.

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Demo for space alignment in floating point number");

            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,10:0.0}", 512.4567));   
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-10:0.0}", 512.4567));  
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,10:0.0}", -512.4567));  
            Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0,-10:0.0}", -512.4567)); 

            Console.WriteLine();  
        }
    }
}

Output

Demo for space alignment in floating point number
     512.5
512.5
    -512.5
-512.5
