Roughly, the number of neutrons. Note that the Atomic Mass is only approximately equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons - there is a relatively small discrepancy, due to the binding energy.
Mass number minus the atomic number equals the number of neutrons. Mass number is the number of particles in an atom that have significant mass. Electrons are assigned a value of 0 since the mass is so much smaller than protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are similar in mass and are assigned mass number of 1. The formula for calculating atomic mass atomic mass = # protons + # neutrons.
atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number atomic number is the amount of protons, equal to the atomic number, the electrons, minus the mass number
atomic mass number - protons = number or neutrons
mass no. = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
Find out how many protons (atomic number) and what the mass number of a particular element is. Then subtract the number of protons from the rounded mass number to get the number of neutrons in a particular atom.

Atomic Mass minus atomic number. This is rather simplified but the atomic mass of an element is the total of all the protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. Each proton and neutron has an atomic mass of approximately 1 AMU (atomic mass units) while an electron has an atomic mass of about 0.0005 AMU. So, you don't need to worry about the electrons. The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom. So, atomic mass (number of protons and neutrons) minus atomic number (number of protons) equals number of neutrons in an atom.
The # of nuetrons in any element is the Atomic Mass - the # of protons In this case the atomic mass was 24.3 minus the protons (12) equals 12

mass no. = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

The number of protons, also called the atomic number.
Number of protons = atomic number Number of neutrons = Atomic Mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) minus the atomic number Number of electrons in a stable element = number of protons Number of electrons in an unstable element = atomic number minus the charge
Atomic number means number of protons present in an atom. Atomic number= number of protons. mass number = number of neutrons+ number of protons. So if you subtract the number of protons you get neutrons and if you subtract neutrons you get protons. mass number - protons= neutrons Mass number - neutrons = protons.
The atomic mass NUMBER equals the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. DO NOT confuse this with the mass of an atom.
