Last insert id for procedural statement

I am using the procedural method to insert data with a prepared statement.

Can someone please give me the correct format to obtain the last inserted id number under these conditions.

Just plugging simple form data into a table and want to echo a message stating "the record was successfully inserted as number $last_input"

I used this

printf("New record has ID %d.\n", mysqli_insert_id($conn));

The good news is: it provided a result

The bad news: I have no idea why it works.

What does %d signify and where is it generated from?

I'll skip the obligatory advice to switch to PDO

Thank you so much!!!
