Binary numbers are fundamental to computer science and digital technology. They are used to represent data in computers, where each bit can be used to store a piece of information. For example, a single bit can represent a true/false value, an on/off state, or a 0/1 digit.

To convert the binary number 0b10110010100 to a decimal (base-10) number, one can use the positional notation method. Each bit is multiplied by 2 raised to the power of its position, starting from 0 on the right. For 0b10110010100, the calculation would be:

(1 * 2^10) + (0 * 2^9) + (1 * 2^8) + (1 * 2^7) + (0 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0)

This results in the decimal number 772. Binary numbers are essential for understanding how data is stored and processed in digital systems.
