How do I determine the "jamb width" for a prehung door?

FAQ
Determining the jamb width for a prehung door can be tricky. For most interior applications it is simply a matter of measuring the overall wall thickness. For instance, a standard wall constructed with 2 x 4 studs and 1/2" sheetrock on both sides would have a wall thickness of 4-9/16", that is 3-9/16" (the net width of the 2 x 4 stud) plus 1" (1/2" sheetrock times 2 sides).
