0011000

0011000 is a binary number, which is a base-2 numeral system used in digital electronics and computing. In binary, each digit, or bit, can be either 0 or 1. The number 0011000 consists of seven bits, with the first two bits being zeros, followed by three ones, and then two more zeros. In decimal (base-10) notation, 0011000 is equivalent to 24. This conversion is done by multiplying each bit by 2 raised to the power of its position, starting from the right (where the rightmost bit is position 0). In this case, the calculation would be: (0*2^0) + (0*2^1) + (0*2^2) + (1*2^3) + (1*2^4) + (1*2^5) + (0*2^6) = 24. Binary numbers like 0011000 are fundamental in computer science and digital technology, as they form the basis of data representation and processing in digital systems.
