100001010

100001010 is a binary numeral consisting of nine digits. In binary, it represents the decimal value 266 and the hexadecimal value 0x10A. The ones occur in the 2^8, 2^3, and 2^1 positions, so 256 + 8 + 2 = 266.

As a numeric string, 100001010 is commonly encountered in computing contexts where a 9-bit value or bit pattern is relevant. It may appear as part of data encoding, an instruction field, a flag or mask, or as an identifier within a dataset or hardware specification. In programming languages, it is typically written with a 0b prefix, such as 0b100001010, to distinguish it from decimal or hexadecimal representations.

There is no widely recognized meaning or standard associated specifically with the sequence 100001010. Its interpretation is context-dependent and relies on how a given system maps the bit pattern to values, instructions, or control logic. When used in documentation or code, it is usually accompanied by information about the bit width and the semantics of each bit position. In isolation, it serves as a concrete example of a binary number rather than a term with an established definition.
