Default how do I obtain position of specific value in a row of numbers

I have a row of 10 binary values in a row (column a to J for example). an
example follows:

0010011000

I need a formula that will return the position (numerically) of the first
"1" and another that will give the position of the last "1".

for the above, the formulas would return 3 and 7 respectively.

Can anyone advise?
