100100010

100100010 is a binary numeral consisting of nine digits. In binary notation it represents a value with ones in the 2^8, 2^5, and 2^1 positions, which sums to 256 + 32 + 2 = 290. The leading digit is 1, indicating the most significant bit in this 9-bit representation.

Equivalent representations include decimal 290, hexadecimal 0x122, and octal 0o442. Its 9-bit length makes it a simple example for illustrating binary arithmetic, bit patterns, and data encoding that uses non-contiguous set bits.

In binary, the pattern can be described as three set bits separated by runs of zeros, which is useful when discussing bit masks, digital signaling patterns, or encoding schemes that rely on specific bit positions.
