1010111110

1010111110 is a binary numeral composed of ten bits. In digital contexts, such ten-bit values may be used as data words, bit masks, or fields within a larger word, especially when data are not aligned to a full byte.

Numeric value and representations

As an unsigned integer, 1010111110 equals 702 in decimal and 0x2BE in hexadecimal. The binary pattern contains a run of five consecutive ones in the middle (bits 5 through 1) and ends with a zero, while the most significant bit is one, indicating the ten-bit length. The ten-bit grouping can also be viewed as two five-bit fields: 10101 (21) and 11110 (30). The value is even, since it ends with a zero.

Signed interpretation

If interpreted as a ten-bit two’s complement number, 1010111110 represents -322. This arises because, for a 10-bit signed value, values from 512 to 1023 represent negative numbers via two’s complement, so 702 − 1024 = -322.

Context and usage

There is no widely recognized constant or standard meaning associated specifically with the exact bit pattern 1010111110. It can appear in discussions of binary arithmetic, encoding schemes, or hardware bit-field layouts as an example of a non-byte-aligned value. In many systems, such a ten-bit word would be stored within a larger word (e.g., as part of a 16- or 32-bit register) and would require masking or shifting to extract the relevant fields.

Overall, 1010111110 is notable mainly as a ten-bit binary pattern with a decimal value of 702 (unsigned) or -322 (signed in two’s complement), and as a representative example of non-byte-aligned data in computing.
