100010

100010 is a binary numeral consisting of six digits. In the base-2 numeral system it is written as 100010 and represents the decimal number 34.

Numerical properties: It is even; its prime factorization is 2 × 17, so it is composite. The binary representation has a Hamming weight of 2, with ones in the 2^5 and 2^1 positions. It is not a palindrome in binary.

Representations in other bases: In decimal, 34; in hexadecimal, 0x22; in octal, 42. In ASCII, decimal 34 corresponds to the quotation mark character ("). The 8-bit binary for that is 00100010; the lower six bits are 100010, which matches the six-digit binary pattern.

Uses: In computing and digital electronics, 100010 can serve as a bit mask or an example value to illustrate bitwise operations, with bits 5 and 1 set. If placed in an 8-bit field, it appears as 00100010.

Overview: As a simple binary pattern, 100010 is commonly cited in introductions to binary arithmetic and bit-level reasoning. It highlights how a small string of bits encodes a specific decimal value and how different bases relate to one another. There is no widely recognized meaning or entity uniquely associated with the sequence beyond its role as a numeric or instructional example.
