0001010

The sequence "0001010" is a binary number. In the binary numeral system, each digit represents a power of 2. Reading from right to left, the digits correspond to 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, and so on. For "0001010", this translates to:

(0 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0)

This calculation results in:

0 + 0 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 10

Therefore, the binary number "0001010" is equivalent to the decimal number 10. The leading zeros do not affect the numerical value, though they might be significant in specific contexts such as data storage or fixed-width representations where a certain number of bits is always used. Binary representation is fundamental to computer science and digital electronics, as computers process information using electrical signals that can be in one of two states, typically represented as 0 and 1.
