Carbon's Atomic Mass is ~12.0107. All of those decimals at the end tell us that there is more than one isotope of carbon. If you round the number, you will find the most common isotope of carbon. (Carbon12)

IUPAC recommend in this case the expression atomic weight, not atomic mass.

The atomic weight of carbon (IUPAC Table, 2009) is [12,0096; 12,0116]. This mean that the atomic weight is variable between the above mentioned limits, depending on the type of the sample.

How can one determine the number of carbons in a compound using mass spectrometry?

To determine the number of carbons in a compound using mass spectrometry, scientists analyze the molecular ion peak in the mass spectrum. The molecular ion peak represents the molecular weight of the compound, which can be used to calculate the number of carbons based on the known atomic weight of carbon.
