10010010

10010010 is an eight-bit binary number. In decimal representation, it equals 146. This binary sequence can be interpreted in various contexts, most commonly as a representation of data. In computer science, it could be a single byte, which is a fundamental unit of digital information. Depending on the encoding scheme, this byte could represent a character, a part of an instruction for a processor, or a pixel color value. For instance, in ASCII, 10010010 might represent a specific letter or symbol. The structure of binary numbers, using only the digits 0 and 1, forms the basis of all digital computation. Each position in the binary sequence represents a power of two, starting from the rightmost digit as 2^0, then 2^1, 2^2, and so on. Therefore, 10010010 can be broken down as (1 * 2^7) + (0 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0), which sums to 128 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 146 in decimal.
