By the use of NAT.

And no - NAT does not mean that all these computers with private IP
addresses have a public IP address as well. You can find this out the
hard way when trying to use protocols like IPSec or active FTP or when
you try to build a VPN between two LANs which have the same private
network address (e.g. 192.168.1.0/16).
