Decoding Forum Options Code

How can I decode the forum options?

For example, I would like to know the following information from the column 'options' thats in the forum table.

Act as Forum (Will act as category if no)
Forum is Active (Will Not Appear if No)
Forum is Open (Set this to 'No' to prevent any new posts being made in this forum)

Right now all it says is: 86017

Thanks!

I see. Thanks Zachery,

So if I wanted to find out if it's acting as a forum, active, and opened, what would i do?

argh i can't seem to figure this out, I tried something like this, but no dice:

$getforums = $DB->query("SELECT * FROM " . $tableprefix . "forum WHERE (options & 1)");

I chose 1 because I saw this in the init.php:
$_FORUMOPTIONS = array(
'active' => 1,
'allowposting' => 2,
'cancontainthreads' => 4,
