Recall that paging is implemented by breaking up an address into a page and offset number. It is most efficient to break the address into X page bits and Y offset bits, rather than perform arithmetic on the address to calculate the page number and offset. Because each bit position represents a power of 2, splitting an address between bits results in a page size that is a power of 2.

How page table size calculate when virtual address space and page size and page table entry size given?

To calculate the page table size, divide virtual address space by page size and multiply by page table entry size. Example: for a 120MB address space with a 4KB page size, you require 30,720 page table entries. If a page table entry is 4 bytes, you require a total page table size of 122,880 or 120KB.
