'Many programming languages have a bitwise zero-fill right-shift operator: >>>
'VBA does not. However, it can be emulated in a performant function:

'Don't be off-put at the size of the function. This is many times faster than 
'any other VBA function that carries out bitwise zero-filled right-shfits.
'The hard-coded values are much faster than calculating with exponentiation.
