Hex Digits Fixed31 and part of the next
An IPv6 /126 fixes the first 126 of 128 bits. That does not fall on a hex-digit boundary, so blocks are harder to read at a glance; nibble-aligned prefixes (multiples of 4) are preferred.
IPv6 has no broadcast address, so every address in the block can be used, but networks with hosts on them should be /64 so SLAAC and neighbour discovery work as designed.
Questions
How many /64s are in a /126?
None: a /126 is smaller than a /64.
How many addresses are in an IPv6 /126?
4.
What size IPv6 block should a hosting provider give each VM?
A /64 per VM is the cleanest: the customer can use any addresses inside it, and abuse handling and reverse DNS work per /64. A single /128 also works but some software expects a /64.
