lw $s4, 12($sp)

1. Look up the values of the registers: $s4 is 20 = 10100₂, $sp is 29 = 11101₂.

2. Convert the offset to binary: 12 = 1100₂.

3. Look up the instruction to find its type and format. (You'll find it on p. A-66.) Plug the numbers into the format, being careful to get the registers in the right places, and pad the offset to 16 bits:
   

   100011

   11101

   10100

   0000000000001100

   
   

4. Regroup the bits.
   

   1000

   1111

   1011

   0100

   0000

   0000

   0000

   1100

   
   

5. Represent as a hex number: 8FB4000C
