How to calculate 7 bit mask?
broadcast address will be 1.255.255.255 and the network range spans from 0.0.0.0 to 1.255.255.255 making it twice as large as a /8 subnet. According to my notes, this equals 25 bits, which is 2 raised to the power of 25 (33,554,432) - so 33,554,330 hosts should be available.

255.0.0.0 equals 11111111.00000000 in hexadecimal.
255.128.0.0 maps to 11111111.10000000.
255.192.0.0 corresponds to 11111111.11000000.
255.224.0.0 is 11111111.11100000.
Each step follows a consistent conversion pattern.
