It tells you that each atom of iron has 26 positively charged protons in the nucleus and 26 negatively charged electrons in the electron shells surrounding the nucleus. There will also be approximately 26 neutrons in the nucleus depending on which isotope of iron the atom is.

Atomic Mass, and Symbol.
Can atoms of two different elements have the same atomic number and could they have the same mass number?
The atomic number, or Proton number, defines which element it is. So by definition, two different elements must have a different atomic number, or else they'd be the same element. Atomic mass is the number of protons + neutrons in the element's nucleus. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary, even within a single element (as isotopes) it is possible to have one isotope of one element sharing an atomic mass with an isotope of another element.
What do the atomic numbers on the periodic table indicate?
The atomic number on the periodic table (or anywhere else) tells you which element is being specified. The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in the nucleus of that atom, and it is the elemental identity of that atom. Only the number of protons identifies an element. All the time, and every time. Nothing else.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a atom?
Atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons. The atomic number of an element shows the number of protons in a nucleus of an atom of that element, while the atomic mass shows the average number of nucleons (either a proton or a neutron) in nuclei of that element. There can be an average because, unlike proton number, neutron number can vary from isotope to isotope. For example, carbon can have 6 or 7 neutrons and still be stable, but it always has to have 6 protons, or else it'd be a different element. Because atomic mass is equal to the number of protons and neutrons, one can find the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from the total number of nucleons in a given isotope. To do this, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
Which element determines the identity of an element?
The number of protons in the nucleus determines what element it is. There can be different isotopes that have more or less neutrons, and there can be ions meaning they're positively or negatively charged which means they've lost an electron or gained an extra one.

What does an element's atomic number tell about that element?
The atomic number is the number of protons and defines an element. It really only indicates the element of a given atom which can be linked to other properties such as atomic mass or location on the periodic table and anything else knowing the element tells you.

Where do you locate an elements atomic mass number?
On the periodic table it is above the letter name of the element. I don't know where else you would find a an atomic mass of an element. The atomic number tells how many protons and electrons are inside. The amount of protons and electrons are always the same.
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of a atom?

What are the facts about atoms?
The atomic number of an element tells you how many protons there are in each nucleus of each atom of the element. On the periodic table, you find the atomic number at the top of the box for each element.
