110100111111100 is a binary number. Binary is a base-2 numeral system that uses only two symbols, typically "0" and "1". This representation means that each digit's place value is a power of two. Starting from the rightmost digit, the place values are 2^0, 2^1, 2^2, and so on.

To convert the binary number 110100111111100 to its decimal equivalent, we multiply each digit by its corresponding power of two and sum the results. The binary number has 15 digits. From right to left, these are:

0 * 2^0 = 0

0 * 2^1 = 0

1 * 2^2 = 4

1 * 2^3 = 8

1 * 2^4 = 16

1 * 2^5 = 32

0 * 2^6 = 0

0 * 2^7 = 0

1 * 2^8 = 256

0 * 2^9 = 0

1 * 2^10 = 1024

1 * 2^11 = 2048

0 * 2^12 = 0

1 * 2^13 = 8192

1 * 2^14 = 16384

Summing these values: 0 + 0 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 256 + 0 + 1024 + 2048 + 0 + 8192 + 16384 = 27964. Therefore, the binary number 110100111111100 is equivalent to the decimal number 27964. Binary representations are fundamental in computer science and digital electronics, as they form the basis for how data is stored and processed.
