101011000

101011000 is a binary numeral consisting of nine bits. In binary notation, each digit represents a power of two, and the sequence 101011000 encodes a specific unsigned integer. It can be used as an example of a 9-bit value in discussions of binary representation and digital data.

Its value in decimal is 344. In hexadecimal, it is 0x158. The binary form ends with three zeros, indicating that the number is divisible by 8. Consequently, it is even and not divisible by 16, since 344 modulo 16 equals 8.

Mathematically, 344 factors as 2^3 × 43. The trailing zeros reflect the factor of 2^3 in its prime decomposition. The nine-bit length makes 101011000 a relatively uncommon width in modern architectures, where 8- or 16-bit units are more typical, but it can still appear in certain hardware designs, data encoding schemes, or as a test pattern in documentation and education.

In usage, 101011000 may be encountered as part of discussions about binary arithmetic, bit patterns, or as a concrete example when illustrating conversions between binary, decimal, and hexadecimal. It serves as a simple, concrete instance of a non-trivial binary value and can help demonstrate how bit positions correspond to powers of two.
