=================Answer starts=======================

1. Class A (0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255)

2. 255.0.0.0

3. we need to borrow 18 bits for subnet

4. 255.255.255.192
(Since you want to subnet as a Class A, the default subnet mask would be:

subnet mask: 11111111.00000000.00000000.00000000

The formula for figuring out the number of 'host' bits in a subnet mask is

2^n=(number of nodes ) (2^n means '2' to the power of 'n')

Since you know the number of nodes, you need to find ...
