The operation '*' typically represents a bitwise AND operation when working with binary numbers. Now, let's apply the bitwise AND operation to the two binary numbers you provided, which are:
```
10011000
& 01100110
------------
```
Now, perform the AND operation bit by bit:
- 1 AND 0 = 0
- 0 AND 1 = 0
- 0 AND 1 = 0
- 1 AND 0 = 0
- 1 AND 0 = 0
- 0 AND 1 = 0
- 0 AND 1 = 0
- 0 AND 0 = 0
Putting that all together, we get:
```
10011000
&
