On a network with an ip address of 140.133.28.72 (or 10001100 10000101 00011100 01001000) and a subnet mask of 255.248.0.0 (or 11111111 11111000 00000000 00000000), what is the network id?

The netmask (Network Mask) masks the bits of the network part of an IP address during an & (bitwise and) operation. So:

10001100 10000101 00011100 01001000
& 11111111 11111000 00000000 00000000
