Answer:
The atomic mass (ma or m) is the mass of an atom. Although the SI unit of mass is kilogram (symbol: kg), the atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (symbol: Da, or u) where 1 dalton is defined as 1⁄12 of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom, at rest.[1] The protons and neutrons of the nucleus account for nearly all of the total mass of atoms, with the electrons and nuclear binding energy making minor contributions. Thus, the numeric value of the atomic mass when expressed in daltons has nearly the same value as the mass number. Conversion between mass in kilograms and mass in daltons can be done using the atomic mass

Answer:
It is the number of Protons in nucleus of each atom of element.
Atomic mass number are always whole numbers because they are obtained by counting whole objects (protons, neutrons, and electrons).
The sum of the mass number and the atomic number for an atom (A-Z) corresponds to the total number of subatomic particles present in the atom.
