11000100
The sequence "11000100" is a binary string, representing a numerical value or data in a base-2 system. In decimal form, this binary sequence translates to 196. This is calculated by summing the powers of 2 for each position where a '1' appears, starting from the rightmost digit as 2^0. So, 1 * 2^7 + 1 * 2^6 + 0 * 2^5 + 0 * 2^4 + 0 * 2^3 + 1 * 2^2 + 0 * 2^1 + 0 * 2^0 = 128 + 64 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 0 + 0 = 196.
Binary representations are fundamental to computing, as they are the language understood by digital devices. The
