subnet multiplexer size is 16 so from each address from the broadcast address 172.16.16.255 - 16 = 240 will be network address
from 240 substract - 1 will give us 239 that will be the broadcast address of 15th network and substract 239-16 will give us 224 that will become network address and so on
if you have any doubt then please ask me without any hesitation in the comment section below , if you like my answer then please thumbs up for the answer , before giving thumbs down please discuss the question it may possible that we may understand the question different way and we can edit and change the answers if you argue, thanks :)
