Nothing to do with maths. It’s to do with the rules of the game. If you get a pawn all the way to your opponents first rank, you can play it as a queen (technically, you can play it as any piece you like).
Since there are 16 pawns in the game, you can reach a total of 18 queens.

A pawn that is queened cannot move like a knight.
