mass of electron = 1/1836 mass of proton (or neutron)
No, Protons and Neutrons have similar masses, but one electron is equal 1/1836 of a proton in mass.
If we give them relative numbers, the proton has a mass of 1.0073, the neutron has 1.0087 and the electron has 5.486 X 10 to negative 4.
The mass of a proton is 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron.
Curium has 96 protons. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the isotope The atomic number of curium is 96; for the isotopic masses of curium read at the link below.
Neutrons have greater mass. A neutron rest mass is 1838 electron volts. A proton rest mass is 1835 electron volts. In terms of physical size, this question may not be meaningful. Protons and neutrons are comprised of three quarks each, and their masses apparently are not conserved.
Isotopes involve different atomic masses. It is sum of number of protons and neutrons.
The atomic mass unit is defined to be 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Atomic masses can determined by weighing molar amount of an isotope. Absolute masses (in kg) are determined by measuring the amount that charged atoms are deflected by magnets, since if you know the charge you can calculate mass from the amount of deflection.
protons and neutrons are about 1 amu

The atomic nucleus contains neutrons and protons (apart from hydrogen-1 which only has 1 proton and no neutrons). The difference between them is that protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge. They also have slightly different masses.
