They use Avagadro's number = 6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mole as a starting point.
Then from this number of molecules in a substance (and the formula) you can easily calculate the HUGE number of atoms in a small amount of substance.

Avagadros number aka the mole: 6.02 x 10^23

moles. There are 6.02 x 10^23 atoms in a mole of any substance.

FOR COUNTING THE NUMBER OF BEANS WHAT UNIT DO U USE
PROBABLY NO UNIT
SO THERE IS NO UNIT OF COUNTING ATOMS
HOWEVER FOR CONVENIENCE AVOGADRO NUMBER = 6.023 X 10^23 IS USED WHICH IS CONSIDERED AS MOLE
