To determine the number of hosts in a subnet, you can use the following formula: 2^n – 2, where n is the number of bits used for the subnet mask. For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then n is 24 (because 8 bits are used for each of the four octets), so the number of hosts in the subnet would be 2^24 – 2, which is 16,777,214.
