101010110

101010110 is a binary numeral consisting of nine digits. In base-2 it represents the decimal value 342, and in hexadecimal it corresponds to 0x156. The bit pattern shows a mostly alternating sequence of 1s and 0s, with a double 1 near the end; the set bits occur at positions 2^8, 2^6, 2^4, 2^2, and 2^1.

In computing, binary strings are used to encode numbers, flags, or instructions. A 9-bit value is not aligned to the common 8-bit byte structure used by most modern processors, but 9-bit patterns can appear in specialized hardware, display interfaces, or as parts of larger encodings.

Interpreted as an unsigned integer, 101010110 equals 342. If interpreted as a signed value in a 9-bit two's complement representation, the same bit pattern would represent -170, highlighting how interpretation affects numeric value.
