In a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) operation, the number of check bits is determined by the degree of the polynomial used as the divisor.
In this case,
- the divisor is 1100101, which has a degree of 6.
To calculate the number of check bits, you add the degree of the divisor to 1. So, in this case, it would be

So, the answer is 7 check bits.
