First, it helps to include the network and broadcast addresses into the range:

216.77.200.0-216.77.223.255

In binary:
200 = 0xC8 = 0b11001000
223 = 0xDF = 0b11011111
                   ^ because of this bit we need more than one range
Two ranges: 0b11001000 -> 0b11001111 == 0xC8 -> 0xCF == 200 -> 207
            0b11010000 -> 0b11011111 == 0xD0 -> 0xDF == 208 -> 223


216.77.200.0-216.77.223.255 ==
{ 216.77.200.0-216.77.207.255, 216.77.208.0-216.77.223.255 } ==
{ 216.77.200.0/20, 216.77.208.0/19 }
