1011001010

1011001010 is a 10-bit binary numeral. In decimal, it equals 714, and in hexadecimal it is 0x2CA. When written with leading zeros to fit common word sizes, it can appear as 0000001011001010 in a 16-bit representation, which corresponds to the same value (0x02CA).

The bit sequence consists of five 1-bits, giving a Hamming weight of 5. The positions of the set bits, from most significant to least significant, are 9, 7, 6, 3, and 1 (using zero-based indexing from the least significant bit). This makes the pattern useful as a bit mask in digital logic or as a compact representation of a state vector in a small register.

In practical terms, 1011001010 can function as a numeric value in computing, a portion of a binary address, or a test vector for logic circuits and encoding/decoding schemes. It is a reference example of a 10-bit pattern and illustrates how binary sequences map to decimal and hexadecimal forms, as well as how bit positions are interpreted in hardware and low-level software contexts.

There is no widely recognized meaning or standard name attached to the specific string 1011001010 beyond its role as a binary representation of the number 714. It is primarily of interest as a compact binary pattern and a basic illustration of binary-to-decimal/hexadecimal conversion.
