The memory unit of a computer has 256K words of 32 bits each. The computer has an instruction format with 4 fields: an opcode field; a mode field to specify 1 of 7 addressing modes; a register address field to specify one of 60 registers; and a memory address field. Assume an instruction is 32 bits long. How large must the address field be?
