With route summaries you want to find the lowest IP address in the range for e.g 10.1.0.0 and then the highest e.g 10.1.7.0.
Now you want to find a mask that will increment from your lower range and cover your highest range, this will be a multiple of 2, in this case 8.
Now you want to increment from 0 to 8 in 3rd octet, /21 - 255.255.248.0 (goes up in 8's in 3rd octet)
Summary will be 10.1.0.0 / 21.
Note: it's nearly 4am here so I can't explain it any better at the momentGetting There ...
