14 studs
To calculate the number of studs needed for a 17-foot long wall with studs placed 16 inches on center, first convert the wall length to inches: 17 feet is 204 inches. Divide 204 inches by 16 inches to get 12.75, which means you'll need 13 studs to cover the length. Additionally, you'll need one more stud for the end of the wall, bringing the total to 14 studs.
Studs are normally on 16 inch centerlines, so, with 16 feet being 192 inches, you would need 12 plus 1 (for the starting stud) plus 2 (for the top and bottom plates) per wall. That is 15 studs per wall. Multiply that by 4 and you get 60 studs for the room. This doing not count framing for doors and windows, nor does it count studs for the floor and ceiling. If you get 16 foot studs, you can use 8 for the caps, leaving you needing 52 studs that are 8 foot long, so you would need 26 16 foot studs to make the 52 8 foot studs. The total required studs, then, is 34 16 foot studs.

To determine the number of studs needed for a 60-foot wall at 16-inch centers, first convert the wall length to inches: 60 feet x 12 inches/foot = 720 inches. Then, divide the total length by the spacing: 720 inches / 16 inches = 45 studs. Since you need one additional stud for the end of the wall, you will need a total of 46 studs.

Studs are laid out on 16-inch centers primarily for structural integrity and efficiency. This spacing allows for optimal weight distribution and support for drywall, insulation, and other wall materials, ensuring that loads are adequately supported. Additionally, 16 inches is a standard measurement that helps streamline construction processes, making it easier to cut materials to size and adhere to building codes. This spacing also facilitates the installation of electrical wiring and plumbing within the walls.
