Bit Shifting!

To shift a number one bit to the right, remove the rightmost bit and add a bit on the left. If the leftmost bit before the shift is 0, add a 0; if it is 1, add a 1.

So looking at your example 32 >> 3:

32 == 0010 0000

Shift this to the right three times, using the method described above. This gives:

0001 0000
0000 1000
0000 0100

So the answer is 0000 0100 == 4.

Note, you always have to take all the bits in the number into account. If your are shifting an int, which is 32 bits, you should look at all 32 bits:

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0000
