1110100011101011

1110100011101011 is a binary number. Binary is a base-2 numeral system that uses only two symbols, typically 0 and 1. This means each digit in a binary number represents a power of two. In this specific sequence, the digits are arranged from left to right, with the leftmost digit representing the highest power of two and the rightmost digit representing the lowest power of two, which is 2^0 or 1.

To convert this binary number to a decimal (base-10) number, we multiply each binary digit by its corresponding power of two and sum the results. For 1110100011101011, this would involve calculating:

(1 * 2^15) + (1 * 2^14) + (1 * 2^13) + (0 * 2^12) + (1 * 2^11) + (0 * 2^10) + (0 * 2^9) + (0 * 2^8) + (1 * 2^7) + (1 * 2^6) + (1 * 2^5) + (0 * 2^4) + (1 * 2^3) + (0 * 2^2) + (1 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0)

This calculation results in the decimal number 59627. Binary numbers are fundamental in computer science and digital electronics, as they are the language that computers use to process information. Each 0 or 1 represents an electrical state, either off or on.
