Best Answer

The subnet mask - expressed in binary - starts with a number of ones, followed by zeros. If (for example) the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, this can also be written as /24 - that means that the first 24 bits are ones. In this example, that means that the first 24 bits of the IP address (in this case, exactly 3 bytes) are shared by all devices in the same subnet. So, if your IP address is 200.3.85.7, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, all other computers in the same subnet will also start with 200.3.85.
