1001010100000

1001010100000 is a 13-bit binary numeral. As an unsigned integer, it equals 4768 in decimal; in hexadecimal it is 0x12A0, and in octal it is 11240. The pattern can be seen as the value 0x95 shifted left by five bits, since the high byte 10010101 corresponds to 0x95 and the trailing five zeros reflect multiplication by 32.

If interpreted as a signed 13-bit two's complement value, the same bit pattern represents -3424, because the range for 13-bit signed numbers is -4096 to 4095 and 4768 exceeds the positive limit.

Bit positions with ones are bit12, bit9, bit7, and bit5 (counting from 0 as the least significant bit). The trailing five zeros indicate divisibility by 32, or that the value aligns to a 5-bit boundary.

Context and uses: in digital electronics and computing, such a pattern may appear as a bitfield, a small address within a 13-bit address space, or as a mask/flag pattern in low-level programming. 13-bit widths occur in some embedded systems and legacy protocols, though they are less common in modern general-purpose computing.
