101111100

101111100 is a binary numeral composed of nine binary digits. As a base-2 representation, it denotes a single integer and is used in digital systems to illustrate bit patterns or binary literals.

Value and formats: In decimal, 101111100_2 equals 380. In hexadecimal, it corresponds to 0x17C. As a 9-bit value, it lies within the range 0 to 511.

Structure and pattern: The sequence starts with a 1 and ends with two zeros, containing six 1s overall. From most significant to least, the bits are 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0. If interpreted as a bit mask in a context that uses the least significant bit as position 0, the set bits occur at positions 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2.

Usage and context: There is no widely established meaning for this exact sequence outside a given context. It can appear in examples to demonstrate binary arithmetic, bitwise operations, or encoding schemes. In practice, 9-bit patterns are uncommon in modern standard architectures, which commonly use 8, 16, or 32/64-bit words.
