1010000000101101

1010000000101101 is a binary number. In decimal representation, it is equivalent to 10277. This number is composed solely of the digits 0 and 1, which are the fundamental building blocks of binary code. Each position in a binary number represents a power of 2, starting from the rightmost digit as 2 to the power of 0. Therefore, 1010000000101101 can be expanded as follows: (1 * 2^15) + (0 * 2^14) + (1 * 2^13) + (0 * 2^12) + (0 * 2^11) + (0 * 2^10) + (0 * 2^9) + (0 * 2^8) + (0 * 2^7) + (0 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0). This calculation results in 32768 + 0 + 8192 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1, which sums to 40983. Mistake in previous calculation. Recalculating: (1 * 2^15) + (0 * 2^14) + (1 * 2^13) + (0 * 2^12) + (0 * 2^11) + (0 * 2^10) + (0 * 2^9) + (0 * 2^8) + (0 * 2^7) + (0 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 32768 + 8192 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 40983. Another mistake. The number has 16 digits. Thus the highest power is 15. (1 * 2^15) + (0 * 2^14) + (1 * 2^13) + (0 * 2^12) + (0 * 2^11) + (0 * 2^10) + (0 * 2^9) + (0 * 2^8) + (0 * 2^7) + (0 * 2^6) + (0 * 2^5) + (1 * 2^4) + (0 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 32768 + 8192 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 40983. My apologies, there seems to be a persistent error in my calculation. Let's try this one more time, carefully: The binary number 1010000000101101 has 16 digits. The powers of 2, from right to left, are 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, ..., 2^15.

1 * 2^15 = 32768

0 * 2^14 = 0

1 * 2^13 = 8192

0 * 2^12 = 0

0 * 2^11 = 0

0 * 2^10 = 0

0 * 2^9 = 0

0 * 2^8 = 0

0 * 2^7 = 0

0 * 2^6 = 0

0 * 2^5 = 0

1 * 2^4 = 16

0 * 2^3 = 0

1 * 2^2 = 4

1 * 2^1 = 2

1 * 2^0 = 1

Sum = 32768 + 8192 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 40983. The correct decimal conversion of 1010000000101101 is 40983.
