111110001000

111110001000 is a 12-bit binary numeral. When interpreted as a binary value, it corresponds to the decimal number 3976 and the hexadecimal value 0xF88. The ones appear at bit positions 11, 10, 9, 8, 7 and 3 (counting from the least significant bit as position 0). This is the result of summing 2^11 + 2^10 + 2^9 + 2^8 + 2^7 + 2^3, which equals 2048 + 1024 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 8 = 3976.

The bit pattern can be described as five leading ones, followed by three zeros, then a single
