PIC help

i've read the input pulse from an rf receiver into TMR0 on the PIC

i'm operating at 4MHz clock frequency, meaning 1us per instruction

thing is when i measured the pulse width with an oscilloscope, it gave the value 2.048ms

based on my calculation, a value of 1 in TMR0 will represent 1us, as i am expecting a value of 2048 to be in the TMRO, will it be too large for it???

2048 in hex and binary is way larger than 8-bits

will be timer register be able to read a value as high as this???

can i use a prescaler of 16 then? and also if 2048 will be an 8-bit number using a prescaler of 8, what will that number be in hex?? how can i find the value??

1 : 2
1 : 4
1 : 8
1 : 16
1 : 32
1 : 64
1 : 128
1 : 256

basically i've used 16 as the prescaler

so 2048/16 = 128 will be the value in the TMRO assuming the pulse width read is 2.048ms, right??
