The subnet mask is used for this purpose. It indicates how much of the address is for network, and the remaining part is for the hosts.
62 hosts.
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.
14 networks / 14 hosts

A class A network has more IP addresses - you can connect more hosts on it.A class C network has 256 IP addresses (of which you can use 254), a class B network about 65,000, a class A network about 17 million.More specifically, a Class A network can have 16,777,214 usable host addresses per network whereas a Class B network can have 65,6534 usable host addresses per network.Another advantage is the ridiculous amounts of subnetting you can do. For example, in a Class C network, you can't borrow the same number of bits as you can with a Class A because you only have the last octet to work with for the host portion. With a Class A network, the last three octets are the entire host portion, so you have 24 bits to work with for subnetting (technically 23 since you can't subnet down through all available bits and have no bits left for hosts =p). Due to the amount of subnets you can have and the 16+ million hosts you can potentially have on the same network, Class A networks are reserved for super big applications (ISPs and gigantic companies).

Here are 3 facts about the network portion of an IPV4 address. 1. identical for all hosts in a broadcast domain 2. varies in length 3. is used to forward packets
255.255.255.224 will select a network of 32 IP addresses, with the lowest reserved as the network identifier, and the highest as the broadcast address, leaving 30 usable host IP addresses.
