11100111

The sequence "11100111" is an eight-digit binary number. In the binary number system, each digit represents a power of two, starting from the rightmost digit as 2^0, the next as 2^1, and so on. To convert "11100111" to its decimal equivalent, we multiply each digit by its corresponding power of two and sum the results.

Starting from the right:

1 * 2^0 = 1 * 1 = 1

1 * 2^1 = 1 * 2 = 2

1 * 2^2 = 1 * 4 = 4

0 * 2^3 = 0 * 8 = 0

0 * 2^4 = 0 * 16 = 0

1 * 2^5 = 1 * 32 = 32

1 * 2^6 = 1 * 64 = 64

1 * 2^7 = 1 * 128 = 128

Summing these values: 128 + 64 + 32 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 231. Therefore, the binary number "11100111" is equivalent to the decimal number 231.

This binary representation can be used in various computing contexts. For example, it could represent a byte of data, a part of a larger number, or a specific instruction within a machine code. In ASCII encoding, for instance, decimal 231 corresponds to the character 'é'. The interpretation of this binary sequence depends entirely on the context in which it is used.
