Network IP/Nodes Question

Given the class A IP network address 10.x.x., how many sub-networks of how many nodes can be created by applying a sub-net mask of 255.255.0.0?

Subnets: 256, if you allow the use of 10.0.X.X and 10.255.X.X

Hosts: 65,534.  256 * 256 is 65,536 minus the host and broadcast addresses.

Could you explain how you get the number of subnets more?? and also how to get the host and broadcast addresses
When applying a mask of 255.255.0.0 to a Class A address You are usign 8 bits for the network portion, 8 bits for the subnet and 16 bits for the host portion.

You will be able to have:

256 Subnets
65534 hosts on each subnet.
