172.16.0.0/19
Private (RFC 1918) RFC 1918Class B — /19 prefix — 8,190 usable hosts
Network address — the base address of the block (172.16.0.0). All devices in this subnet share this prefix. Cannot be assigned to a host.
Broadcast address — packets sent to 172.16.31.255 are delivered to every device in the subnet. Also reserved — not assignable.
Usable hosts — the 8,190 addresses between those two that you can assign to servers, VMs, or interfaces.
Subnet mask — 255.255.224.0 is the dotted-decimal equivalent of /19. Older tools and Cisco configs use this format instead of CIDR slash notation.

Binary Representation
The first 19 bits (1s in the mask) identify the network. The remaining 13 bits identify hosts within the network.
Subnet Breakdown — splitting into /20
This /19 block can be divided into 2 /20 subnets.
