'D' would do the job ... When you subtract the protons from the mass,
what you have left is neutrons.  (The electrons can be ignored.  It takes
around 1840 electrons ! to add the mass of a single proton or neutron !)

I don't know it for a fact, but I'd be surprised if the process is really that
simple.  I mean, it starts out with knowing the atomic mass, and then
knowing the number of protons in the nucleus.  Each of those is a
whole complex problem in itself.
