Conceptually, a 32-bit IP address takes the format of

ClassId | NetworkId | HostId


ClassId -- for classification of IP address;

NetworkId -- for identifying which network the IP address belongs to

HostId -- for identifying the host

Defining IP address in such a way is to extract each portion quickly.
