Route selection issue

I everybody,

I have the following issue about route selection. This is an extract from our router...
I have the following table:
172.16.0.0 /16 is variable subnetted, 5 subnets, 4 masks
R 172.16.1.1 /32 (120/1) via 172.16.25.2 serial 0/1/1
R 172.16.1.0 /24 (120/2) via 172.16.25.129 serial 0/1/0
R 172.16.0.0 /22 (120/1) via 172.16.25.2 serial 0/1/1
R 172.16.0.0 /17 (120/2) via 172.16.25.129 serial 0/1/0
R 0.0.0.0 /0 (120/3) via 172.16.25.2 serial 0/1/1

When I write show ip route x.x.x.x command for the IPs, it responses with routes that are confused to me....
For ip 172.16.10.1 it says that matches route 172.16.0.0 /17, but the theory says that it must match the route with the longest prefix lenght and I think it has to be 172.16.0.0 /22.
For ip 172.16.130.1 it says that matches route 0.0.0.0, what about route 172.16.0.0 /22, can it fit there ? I think so.
For ip 172.16.125.1 it says that matches the route 172.16.0.0 /17, the same think, what about 172.16.0.0 /22 ?

Please a little help because i´m confusing..

    Newp.

    172.16.0.0/22 = 172.16.0.0 through 172.16.3.255. So 172.16.10.1 isn't going to match on that, 172.16.0.0/17 is correct

    Same for the second route, it doesn't fit within the range, and since there's no more specific route, it matches the default

    for the third, 172.16.0.0/17 = 172.16.0.0 through 172.16.127.255, so it does fit within the /17

    You need to do a little more studying on subnetting
