Classful addressing 

is a concept that divides the available address space of IPv4 into

five classes namely A, B, C, D & E.  IPv4 addresses are represented using 32-bit addresses. The 32-bit
IPv4 address is also referred to as the 4-byte address or 4-octet address. So, we can conclude that
the address space of IPv4 is 232 which is equal to 4,294,967,296.

We can find the class by the IP address by its IP range:
