11110

11110 is a five-digit binary numeral consisting of the digits 1 and 0. In general usage it is read as a binary number and can be interpreted in several related ways depending on context.

As an unsigned binary number, 11110 equals 30 in decimal. In hexadecimal this value is 0x1E, and in octal it is 36. These conversions reflect its role as a base-2 representation of the integer 30 when treated as unsigned data.

In a 5-bit two's-complement interpretation, 11110 encodes the value -2. The actual signed value depends on the width of the binary field used; the same bit pattern can represent different integers in different numeral or word sizes.

In computing and digital electronics, 11110 may function as a bit pattern or bit mask. For example, in a 5-bit field it marks all but the least significant bit as set, corresponding to the numeric value 30. Such patterns are common in low-level programming and hardware design where individual bits represent flags or states.

As a sequence of five bits, 11110 can appear in various encoding schemes or data identifiers. Its meaning is determined by the specific system or protocol that reads it, making it a generic example of how short binary strings are used across technology and information systems.
