A /13 fixes the first 13 bits of the address as the network and leaves 19 for hosts — 524,288 addresses in all.
Of those, 524,286 can be given to a machine: the first address names the network itself, and the last is the broadcast address.
A block this large is an allocation rather than a subnet — a whole private range to carve up, or something a regional registry hands out. You would not put hosts directly in it.
It is 2,048 times the size of a /24.
