1110101

1110101 is a binary numeral consisting of seven bits. In decimal form, it equals 117, calculated as 64 + 32 + 16 + 4 + 1. When represented as an eight-bit byte, it is 01110101 in binary, which corresponds to the hexadecimal value 0x75. In ASCII encoding, the eight-bit code 0x75 represents the lowercase letter 'u'.

From a mathematical perspective, 1110101 is a composite number: 117 = 3^2 × 13. Its prime factorization indicates it is not a prime number, and its divisors include 1, 3, 9, 13, 39, and 117.

In computing, seven-bit binary patterns like 1110101 were common in early ASCII and other 7-bit character encodings. Modern systems typically use eight-bit bytes, but seven-bit values remain relevant for historical context and for certain encoding schemes. The mapping of 1110101 to the ASCII character 'u' illustrates how binary representations encode textual data in computer systems.

In educational contexts, 1110101 is often used as a straightforward example for teaching binary-to-decimal conversion, as well as for illustrating how binary values map to characters in ASCII. The combination of its decimal value, its role in character encoding, and its presence in binary arithmetic makes it a representative case in introductory computer science and digital logic discussions.
