You can either look at the element on a Periodic Table and the big number is the Atomic Mass or you can count how many protons are in one atom of the element. If something isn't an element, you can't easily or accurately find its atomic mass because it has an insane amount of atoms of different elements which you need a complex equation to combine into a reliable atomic mass. Even if you had and could use said equation, you would have to know the exact proportions of each element in the substance. That's why it's easier to use a periodic table for a pure element.

How do you calculate the number of neutrons an element has in its nucleus?

You need to find the atomic number, and the atomic mass. The atomic number i the number of PROTONS in the nucleus, the atomic mass, or mass number, is the number of PROTONS and NEUTRONS in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
