Split integer in 2 part

Hi, I am new in `MATLAB` and what I would like to do is this kind of thing: I have a number lets say that it can be represented with `24 bits` so lets take the number `14057474` for example, which in binary is `000101010111001100110011`. I want to retreive the last 15 bits `111001100110011` in order to get the number `29491`. So basically what I want to do is to split a unsigned integer number in 2 part: the less significant bits 'l' and the most significat bits 24-l and then retreive the decimal number. How can I do this?

Your number is wrong:

n = 14057474
str = dec2bin(n)

str =
110101101000000000000010

Try bitand():

n = 14057474
str1 = dec2bin(n) % Show it in binary.
numRightBits = 15;
out = bitand(n, 2^numRightBits - 1)
str2 = dec2bin(out) % Show it in binary.

n = 1405747
str3 = dec2bin(n) % Show it in binary.
numRightBits = 15;
out = bitand(n, 2^numRightBits - 1)
str4 = dec2bin(out) % Show it in binary.

In the command window:

n =
    14057474
str1 =
110101101000000000000010
out =
     2
str2 =
10
n = 1405747
str3 =
101010111001100110011
out =
       29491
str4 =
111001100110011
