Write the subnet mask in binary. The zeroes at the end represent the host bits, and therefore, the size of the network. If (for example) you have ten zeroes at the end, you rais 210 = 1024. That's the number of addresses in the network. Of these, the first and the last are reserved for special purposes, and can't be used for host addresses, so the complete calculation (in this case) is 210 - 2.

The maximum number of hosts per class B network is 65536.
In Class A networks, the maximum number of hosts is calculated as (2^{24} - 2), which equals 16,777,214 hosts. This formula accounts for the network and broadcast addresses, which cannot be assigned to hosts. Class A networks use the first octet for the network identifier, allowing for a large number of hosts within a single network. However, not every Class A network will have the maximum number of hosts; it depends on the specific subnetting used.

The MAC address is the serial number of the network card (NIC). It is used in network communication (for example, in Ethernet networks) as a unique identifier for every computer (and other hosts).The MAC address is the serial number of the network card (NIC).

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.248 corresponds to a /29 prefix, which means there are 3 bits available for host addresses (since 32 bits total - 29 bits for the network = 3 bits for hosts). The formula for calculating the number of addressable hosts is 2^n - 2, where n is the number of host bits. Thus, 2^3 - 2 equals 6 addressable hosts on this network.
14 networks / 14 hosts
no having a different prefix number changes the host range and broadcast address for each network
