A /14 fixes the first 14 bits of the address as the network and leaves 18 bits for hosts, so it holds 2^18 = 262,144 addresses. The first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address, leaving 262,142 for hosts.

A /14 is 1,024 /24 networks side by side; registries and ISPs allocate blocks this size to networks that route them on the internet.

A /14 can be announced in BGP on its own: /24 is the longest prefix most networks accept.
