011011011

The string "011011011" is a sequence of binary digits, also known as bits. In its most common interpretation, it represents a number in base-2. To convert this binary number to its decimal equivalent, each digit is multiplied by a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit with 2^0.

The conversion process for "011011011" is as follows:

(0 * 2^8) + (1 * 2^7) + (1 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0)

= (0 * 256) + (1 * 128) + (1 * 64) + (0 * 32) + (1 * 16) + (1 * 8) + (0 * 4) + (1 * 2) + (1 * 1)

= 0 + 128 + 64 + 0 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 2 + 1

= 219

Therefore, in decimal (base-10), the binary string "011011011" represents the number 219.

Binary representations are fundamental in computer science and digital electronics, where they are used to encode data, instructions, and various forms of information. The length of the binary string, in this case, nine bits, means it can represent a range of numbers from 0 (all zeros) to 511 (all ones). Without further context, "011011011" is primarily understood as the numerical value 219 in binary.
