Do you mean 'neutrons'.

To find the number of neutrons in an isotope of an element.

Then it is

Atomic Mass - Atomic number = number of neutrons.

For any element in the Periodic Table, two numbers are quoted viz., Atomic Mass and Atomic No.(Z). In a shorthand manner these are shown as [14/6]C

This is the Carbon =14 isotope of carbon. shown as [14/6]C

So atomic mass is 14

Atomic Number is 6

No of neutrons is 14 - 6 = 8

Here is another example Uranium 236 ; [236/92]U

Atomic mass is 236

Atomic Npo. 92

Number of neutrons is 236 - 92 = 144

Hope that helps!!!!

Not sure about neutrons, while the answer for neutrons will depend on what information is available. The atomic mass, the angular deflection of the nucleus as it passes through a magnetic field, etc.
