CRC32

CRC32 can be expressed in hexadecimal and binary form:

• 0x04C11DB7
  
• 100110000010001110110110111

Note that these are only 32 bits, when the polynomial must be n+1 bits. This is because the MSB co-efficient is implicitly 1, so in effect the polynomial divisor for CRC32 is:

• 1100110000010001110110110111
