100100110

100100110 is a binary numeral consisting of nine bits. Reading from most significant to least, the sequence is 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0. As an unsigned integer, it represents the decimal value 294, computed as 2^8 + 2^5 + 2^2 + 2^1. The binary pattern contains four 1 bits, giving it a Hamming weight of 4. In hexadecimal notation, the same value is 0x126.

In common computing practice, binary numbers are usually grouped into bytes (eight bits) and larger word sizes. Nine-bit values are not aligned to standard byte boundaries, so they typically appear as part of larger data fields or require padding when stored or transmitted. The nine-bit form 100100110 can be obtained by removing leading zeros from the 16-bit representation 0001 0010 0110 or by considering the least-significant nine bits of a larger value.

Possible uses for such a sequence include serving as an example in teaching binary arithmetic, illustrating bitwise operations, or acting as a compact identifier in small data schemes.
