Mike,

Write them in binary.
226 - 1110 0010
12 - 0000 1100

The possible combinations would be:
1110 0010 - 226
1110 0110 - 230
1110 1010 - 234
1110 1110 - 238

So by having a mask of 12 you are are matching only above 4 addresses.

HTH,
Shine

Hello,

  I still don't understand why the below ACL can't be grouped:
interface Loopback0
ip pim sparse-dense-mode
!
ip pim send-rp-announce Loopback0 scope 16 group-list 50
!
access-list 50 permit 226.0.0.0 1.255.255.255
access-list 50 permit 228.0.0.0 3.255.255.255
access-list 50 permit 232.0.0.0 3.255.255.255
access-list 50 permit 236.0.0.0 1.255.255.255
access-list 50 permit 238.0.0.0 0.255.255.255

Why can't we group them as:
access-list 50 permit 226.0.0.0 12.255.255.255

Thanks for the clarification,
