100011000010

100011000010 is a 12-bit binary numeral. When interpreted as a binary integer, it equals decimal 2242 and hexadecimal 0x8C2. The most-significant bit (bit 11) is 1, and the bits set elsewhere are at positions 7, 6, and 1.

Interpreting this sequence as a bitmask, the value contributes 2^11, 2^7, 2^6, and 2^1. In other words, the number encodes a combination of four active bit positions within a 12-bit field.

Binary literals of this form appear in programming and data encoding where a precise bit pattern is required. Some languages support binary notation, such as a prefix like 0b in Python or C-style languages, to express sequences such as 100011000010 directly.

As a data element, this sequence can function as an integer, a small bitfield, or a flag set within a larger structure. Without additional context, its meaning is limited to its numeric value, the positions of set bits, and recognizable representations (decimal 2242 and hex 0x8C2).
