1010100110010

1010100110010 is a binary numeral composed of 13 bits. As a numeric value, it corresponds to the decimal number 5426 and the hexadecimal value 0x1532. In binary, the most significant bit contributes 2^12, and the least significant bit contributes 2^0, yielding the total 5426 when summed (2^12 + 2^10 + 2^8 + 2^5 + 2^4 + 2^1).

The bit pattern begins with an alternating sequence of 1s and 0s in the first six positions, followed by a shorter run of bits toward the least significant end. This kind of mixed pattern is common in examples used to illustrate binary encoding, bit significance, and the conversion between bases.

In a broader context, 13-bit numbers are less common in modern general-purpose computing, where 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit word sizes dominate. However, 13-bit widths appear in some legacy addressing schemes, experimental demonstrations, and educational materials, where a compact, non-standard width helps illustrate concepts without aligning to standard byte boundaries. The specific value 1010100110010 can serve as a concrete example for exercises in binary-to-decimal conversion, hexadecimal representation, and bit-level reasoning.
