What are the logical numeric limits in the values that will be expressed in PriceScaleCode for Multicast(section 5.5)?

Same as old feed?

Prices in this feed are represented by two fields, separating the denominator and the numerator. All prices in the feed share a common denominator, which is represented in the PriceScaleCode. The Price scaleCode field indicates which power to appy to base 10. So for example, a price of 27.56 is represented by a Numerator of 2756 and a PriceScaleCode equals to 2. 10^2 is 100.

Since the field size is 1 byte, the highest power of 10 we can achieve is 256.
