255.255.255.0 is a /24 meaning only the last 8 bits (octet) of the
address changes.
The first 24 bits of the 32 bit address are fixed.
255.255.0.0 is a /16
255.0.0.0 is a /8
A /32 would be written as a netmask of 255.255.255.255, in which case only one
ip address is in the selected range.
That`s for an ipv4 network. For ipv6 there are 128 bits instead of 32.
