Sorry if this is dumb, but I am very knew to learning about networks.

Here is my reasoning?

Let's take the address, 24.50.12.4

if we subnet it with /16 then the network address is 24.50 + host is 0.0.12.4 if we subnet it with /24 then the network address is 24.50.12

It feels like this means we have increased the number of available networks?

What is wrong with my reasoning?

    You can get more networks, but not addresses. See [this two-part answer](https://networkengineering.stackexchange.com/a/53994/8499) for how it all works. – Ron Maupin Aug 31 '20 at 19:23
  • /16 has two IPs for network and broadcast address to segment subnet. EACH /24 has two IPs for network and broadcast – Kev Aug 31 '20 at 21:50
