1069 bytes

I think the maximum number of bits is limited only by available
memory.  I don't know what minimum number of bits is (or why that is
important), but if you want to minimize the amount of memory used for
a (small) integer, use a byte instead.  If a byte is too big, use only
several bits for a number (you can pack multiple really small integers
into a byte, but a byte is the smallest data type).
